1Then the LORD<3068> spoke<1696> to Moses<4872>, saying<559>,
2"Tell<1696> Aaron<175> and his sons<1121> to be careful<5144> with the holy<6944> gifts of the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>, which<834> they dedicate<6942> to Me, so as not to profane<2490> My holy<6944> name<8034>; I am the LORD<3068>.
3"Say<559> to them, 'If any<3605> man<376> among<4480> all<3605> your descendants<2233> throughout your generations<1755> approaches<7126> the holy<6944> gifts which<834> the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> dedicate<6942> to the LORD<3068>, while he has an uncleanness<2932>, that person<5315> shall be cut<3772> off<3772> from before<4480><6440> Me; I am the LORD<3068>.
4'No<376><3808> man<376> of the descendants<2233> of Aaron<175>, who<1931> is a leper<6879> or<176> who has a discharge<2100>, may eat<398> of the holy<6944> gifts until<5704><834> he is clean<2891>. And if one touches<5060> anything<3605> made unclean<2931> by a corpse<5315> or<176> if a man<376> has<3318> a seminal<7902><2233> emission<7902>,
5or<176> if a man<376> touches<5060> any<3605> teeming<8318> things<8318> by which<834> he is made<2930> unclean<2930>, or<176> any<120> man<120> by whom<834> he is made<2930> unclean<2930>, whatever<3605> his uncleanness<2932>;
6a person<5315> who<834> touches<5060> any such shall be unclean<2930> until<5704> evening<6153>, and shall not eat<398> of the holy<6944> gifts unless<3588><518> he has bathed<7364> his body<1320> in water<4325>.
7'But when the sun<8121> sets<935>, he will be clean<2891>, and afterward<310> he shall eat<398> of the holy<6944> gifts, for it is his food<3899>.
8'He shall not eat<398> an animal which<5038> dies<5038> or is torn<2966> by beasts, becoming<2930> unclean<2930> by it; I am the LORD<3068>.
9'They shall therefore keep<8104> My charge<4931>, so that they will not bear<5375> sin<2399> because<5921> of it and die<4191> thereby because<3588> they profane<2490> it; I am the LORD<3068> who sanctifies<6942> them.
10'No<3808> layman<2114>, however, is to eat<398> the holy<6944> gift; a sojourner<8453> with the priest<3548> or a hired<7916> man<7916> shall not eat<398> of the holy<6944> gift.
11'But if<3588> a priest<3548> buys<7069> a slave<5315> as his property<7075> with his money<3701>, that one<1931> may eat<398> of it, and those<1992> who<3211> are born<3211> in his house<1004> may eat<398> of his food<3899>.
12'If<3588> a priest's<3548> daughter<1323> is married<802> to a layman<2114>, she shall not eat<398> of the offering<8641> of the gifts.
13'But if<3588> a priest's<3548> daughter<1323> becomes<1961> a widow<490> or divorced<1644>, and has<369> no<369> child<2233> and returns<7725> to her father's<1> house<1004> as in her youth<5271>, she shall eat<398> of her father's<1> food<3899>; but no<3808><3605> layman<2114> shall eat<398> of it.
14'But if<3588> a man<376> eats<398> a holy<6944> gift unintentionally<7684>, then he shall add<3254> to it a fifth<2549> of it and shall give<5414> the holy<6944> gift to the priest<3548>.
15'They shall not profane<2490> the holy<6944> gifts of the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> which<834> they offer<7311> to the LORD<3068>,
16and so cause them to bear<5375> punishment<5771> for guilt<819> by eating<398> their holy<6944> gifts; for I am the LORD<3068> who sanctifies<6942> them.'"
17Then the LORD<3068> spoke<1696> to Moses<4872>, saying<559>,
18"Speak<1696> to Aaron<175> and to his sons<1121> and to all<3605> the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> and say<559> to them, 'Any<376> man<376> of the house<1004> of Israel<3478> or of the aliens<1616> in Israel<3478> who<834> presents<7126> his offering<7133>, whether it is any<3605> of their votive<5088> or any<3605> of their freewill<5071> offerings<5071>, which<834> they present<7126> to the LORD<3068> for a burnt<5930> offering<5930>--
19for you to be accepted<7522>--it must be a male<2145> without<8549> defect<8549> from the cattle<1241>, the sheep<3775>, or the goats<5795>.
20'Whatever<3605><834> has a defect<4140>, you shall not offer<7126>, for it will not be accepted<7522> for you.
21'When<3588> a man<376> offers<7126> a sacrifice<2077> of peace<8002> offerings<8002> to the LORD<3068> to fulfill<6381> a special<6381> vow<5088> or<176> for a freewill<5071> offering<5071>, of the herd<1241> or<176> of the flock<6629>, it must be perfect<8549> to be accepted<7522>; there shall be no<3808><3605> defect<4140> in it.
22'Those that are blind<5788> or<176> fractured<7665> or<176> maimed<2782> or<176> having a running<2990> sore<2990> or<176> eczema<1618> or<176> scabs<3217>, you shall not offer<7126> to the LORD<3068>, nor<3808> make<5414> of them an offering<801> by fire<801> on the altar<4196> to the LORD<3068>.
23'In respect to an ox<7794> or a lamb<7716> which has an overgrown<8311> or stunted<7038> member, you may present<6213> it for a freewill<5071> offering<5071>, but for a vow<5088> it will not be accepted<7521>.
24'Also anything with its testicles bruised<4600> or crushed<3807> or torn<5423> or cut<3772>, you shall not offer<7126> to the LORD<3068>, or sacrifice<6213> in your land<776>,
25nor<3808> shall you accept<7126> any<4480><3605> such<428> from the hand<3027> of a foreigner<1121><5236> for offering<7126> as the food<3899> of your God<430>; for their corruption<4893> is in them, they have a defect<4140>, they shall not be accepted<7521> for you.'"
26Then the LORD<3068> spoke<1696> to Moses<4872>, saying<559>,
27"When<3588> an ox<7794> or<176> a sheep<3775> or<176> a goat<5795> is born<3205>, it shall remain<1961> seven<7651> days<3117> with its mother<517>, and from the eighth<8066> day<3117> on it shall be accepted<7521> as a sacrifice<7133> of an offering<801> by fire<801> to the LORD<3068>.
28"But, whether it is an ox<7794> or<176> a sheep<7716>, you shall not kill<7819> both it and its young<1121> in one<259> day<3117>.
29"When<3588> you sacrifice<2076> a sacrifice<2077> of thanksgiving<8426> to the LORD<3068>, you shall sacrifice<2076> it so that you may be accepted<7522>.
30"It shall be eaten<398> on the same<1931> day<3117>, you shall leave<3498> none<3808> of it until<5704> morning<1242>; I am the LORD<3068>.
31"So you shall keep<8104> My commandments<4687>, and do<6213> them; I am the LORD<3068>.
32"You shall not profane<2490> My holy<6944> name<8034>, but I will be sanctified<6942> among<8432> the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>; I am the LORD<3068> who sanctifies<6942> you,
33who brought<3318> you out from the land<776> of Egypt<4714>, to be your God<430>; I am the LORD<3068>."
