Dual Panel1The Lord <03068> spoke <01696> to <0413> Moses <04872>:
2“Tell <01696> Aaron <0175> and his sons <01121> that they must deal respectfully <05144> with the holy offerings <06944> of the Israelites <03478> <01121>, which <0834> they <01992> consecrate <06942> to me, so that they do not <03808> profane <02490> my holy <06944> name <08034>. I <0589> am the Lord <03068>.
3Say <0559> to <0413> them, ‘Throughout your generations <01755>, if any <03605> man <0376> from all <03605> your descendants <02233> approaches <07126> the holy offerings <06944> which <0834> the Israelites <03478> <01121> consecrate <06942> to the Lord <03068> while he is impure <02932>, that person <05315> must be cut off <03772> from before <06440> me <01931>. I <0589> am the Lord <03068>.
4No man <0376> <0376> from the descendants <02233> of Aaron <0175> who is diseased <06879> or <0176> has a discharge <02100> may eat <0398> the holy offerings <06944> until <05704> he becomes clean <02891>. The one who touches <05060> anything <03605> made unclean <02931> by contact with a dead person <05315>, or <0176> a man <0376> who <0834> has <03318> a seminal <07902> emission <02233>,
5or <0176> a man <0376> who <0834> touches <05060> a swarming thing <08318> by which <0834> he becomes unclean <02930>, or <0176> touches a person <0120> by which <0834> he becomes unclean <02930>, whatever <03605> that person’s impurity <02932>–
6the person <05315> who <0834> touches <05060> any of these will be unclean <02930> until <05704> evening <06153> and must not <03808> eat <0398> from <04480> the holy offerings <06944> unless <0518> <03588> he has bathed <07364> his body <01320> in water <04325>.
7When the sun <08121> goes down <0935> he will be clean <02891>, and afterward <0310> he may eat <0398> from <04480> the holy <06944> offerings, because <03588> they are his food <03899>.
8He must not <03808> eat <0398> an animal that has died of natural causes <05038> or an animal torn <02966> by beasts and thus become unclean <02930> by it. I <0589> am the Lord <03068>.
9They must keep <08104> my charge <04931> so that they do not <03808> incur <05375> sin <02399> on <05921> account of it and therefore die <04191> because <03588> they profane <02490> it. I <0589> am the Lord <03068> who sanctifies <06942> them.
10“‘No <03808> lay person <02114> may eat <0398> anything holy <06944>. Neither a priest’s <03548> lodger <08453> nor <03808> a hired laborer <07916> may eat <0398> anything holy <06944>,
11but if <03588> a priest <03548> buys <07069> a person <05315> with his own money <03701>, that <01931> person may eat <0398> the holy offerings, and those born <03211> in the priest’s own house <01004> may eat <0398> his food <03899>.
12If <03588> a priest’s <03548> daughter <01323> marries <01961> a lay <02114> person <0376>, she <01931> may not <03808> eat <0398> the holy <06944> contribution offerings <08641>,
13but if <03588> a priest’s <03548> daughter <01323> is a widow <0490> or divorced <01644>, and she has no <0369> children <02233> so that she returns <07725> to <0413> live in her father’s <01> house <01004> as in her youth <05271>, she may eat <0398> from her father’s <01> food <03899>, but no <03808> lay person <02114> may eat <0398> it.
14“‘If <03588> a man <0376> eats <0398> a holy offering <06944> by mistake <07684>, he must add <03254> one fifth <02549> to <05921> it and give <05414> the holy offering <06944> to the priest <03548>.
15They must not <03808> profane <02490> the holy offerings <06944> which <0834> the Israelites <03478> <01121> contribute <07311> to the Lord <03068>,
16and so cause them to incur <05375> a penalty <05771> for guilt <0819> when they eat <0398> their holy <06944> offerings, for <03588> I <0589> am the Lord <03068> who sanctifies <06942> them.’”
17The Lord <03068> spoke <01696> to <0413> Moses <04872>:
18“Speak <01696> to <0413> Aaron <0175>, his sons <01121>, and all <03605> the Israelites <03478> <01121> and tell <0559> them, ‘When any <0376> man <0376> from the house <01004> of Israel <03478> or from <04480> the foreigners <01616> in Israel <03478> presents <07126> his offering <07133> for any <03605> of the votive <05088> or freewill offerings <05071> which <0834> they present <07126> to the Lord <03068> as a burnt offering <05930>,
19if it is to be acceptable <07522> for your benefit it must be a flawless <08549> male <02145> from the cattle <01241>, sheep <03775>, or goats <05795>.
20You must not <03808> present <07126> anything <03605> that <0834> has a flaw <03971>, because <03588> it will not <03808> be <01961> acceptable <07522> for your benefit.
21If <03588> a man <0376> presents <07126> a peace offering <08002> sacrifice <02077> to the Lord <03069> for a special <06381> votive offering <05088> or <0176> for a freewill offering <05071> from the herd <01241> or <0176> the flock <06629>, it must be flawless <08549> to be <01961> acceptable <07522>; it must have <01961> no <03808> <03605> flaw <03971>.
22“‘You must not <03808> present <07126> to the Lord <03068> something <0428> blind <05788>, or <0176> with a broken <07665> bone, or <0176> mutilated <02782>, or <0176> with a running sore <02990>, or <0176> with a festering eruption <01618>, or <0176> with a feverish rash <03217>. You must not <03808> give <05414> any of these <01992> as a gift <0801> on <05921> the altar <04196> to the Lord <03068>.
23As for an ox <07794> or a sheep <07716> with a limb too long <08311> or stunted <07038>, you may present <06213> it as a freewill offering <05071>, but it will not <03808> be acceptable <07521> for a votive offering <05088>.
24You must not <03808> present <07126> to the Lord <03068> something with testicles that are bruised <04600>, crushed <03807>, torn <05423>, or cut off <03772>; you must not <03808> do <06213> this in your land <0776>.
25Even from a foreigner <05236> <01121> you must not <03808> present <07126> the <0853> food <03899> of your God <0430> from such animals <03605> as these <0428>, for <03588> they are ruined <04893> and flawed <03971>; they will not <03808> be acceptable <07521> for your benefit.’”
26The Lord <03068> spoke <01696> to <0413> Moses <04872>:
27“When <0176> an ox <07794>, lamb <03775>, or <0176> goat <05795> is born <03205>, it must be <01961> under <08478> the care of its mother <0517> seven <07651> days <03117> <03117>, but from the eighth <08066> day <03117> onward <01973> it will be acceptable <07521> as an offering <07133> gift <0801> to the Lord <03068>.
28You must not <03808> slaughter <07819> an ox <07794> or <0176> a sheep <07716> and its young <01121> on the same <0259> day <03117>.
29When <03588> you sacrifice <02076> a thanksgiving <08426> offering <02077> to the Lord <03068>, you must sacrifice <02076> it so that it is acceptable for <07522> your benefit <07522>.
30On that <01931> very day <03117> it must be eaten <0398>; you must not <03808> leave <03498> any part of <04480> it over until <05704> morning <01242>. I <0589> am the Lord <03068>.
31“You must be sure <08104> to do <06213> my commandments <04687>. I <0589> am the Lord <03068>.
32You must not <03808> profane <02490> my holy <06944> name <08034>, and I will be sanctified <06942> in the midst <08432> of the Israelites <03478> <01121>. I <0589> am the Lord <03068> who sanctifies <06942> you,
33the one who brought you out <03318> from the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> to be <01961> your God <0430>. I <0589> am the Lord <03068>.”
