(KJV) Leviticus 22¹

⥃Restrictions against the Unclean

[1] And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not² my holy name [in those things] which they hallow³ unto me: I [am] the Lord.⁴ [3] Say unto them, Whosoever [he be] of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him⁵, that soul⁶ shall be cut off from my⁷ presence: I [am] the Lord. [4] What man soever of the seed⁸ of Aaron [is] a leper⁹, or hath a running issue¹⁰; he shall not eat of the holy things¹¹, until¹² he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing [that is] unclean¹³ [by] the dead, or a man whose¹⁴ seed goeth from him; [5] Or whosoever¹⁵ toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man¹⁶ of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath; [6] The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.¹⁷ [7] And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it [is] his food.¹⁸ [8] That which dieth of itself, or is torn [with beasts], he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I [am] the Lord.¹⁹ [9] They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it²⁰, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the Lord do sanctify them. [10] There shall no stranger eat [of] the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat [of] the holy thing.²¹ [11] But if the priest buy [any] soul with his money²², he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat. [12] If the priest’s daughter also be [married] unto a stranger²³²⁴, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things. [13] But if the priest’s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father’s house²⁵, as in her²⁶ youth, she shall eat of her father’s meat: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.

[14] [¶]And if a man eat [of] the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth [part] thereof unto it, and shall give [it] unto the priest with the holy thing.²⁷ [15] And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the Lord;²⁸ [16] Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I²⁹ the Lord do sanctify them.³⁰

⥃Worthy Offerings

[17] And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, [18] Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever³¹ [he be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers³² in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows³³, and for all his freewill³⁴ offerings, which they will offer unto the Lord for a burnt offering; [19] [Ye shall offer] at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.³⁵ [20] [But] whatsoever hath a blemish, [that] shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.³⁶ [21] And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace³⁷ offerings unto the Lord to accomplish³⁸ [his] vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep³⁹, it shall be perfect⁴⁰ to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein. [22] Blind⁴¹, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the Lord, nor make an offering⁴² by fire of them upon the altar unto the Lord. [23] Either a bullock or a lamb⁴³ that hath any thing superfluous⁴⁴ or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer [for] a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted. [24] Ye shall not offer unto the Lord that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken⁴⁵, or cut; neither shall ye make [any offering thereof] in your land. [25] Neither from a stranger’s⁴⁶ hand shall ye offer the bread⁴⁷ of your God of any of these; because⁴⁸ their corruption [is] in them, [and] blemishes [be] in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

[26] [¶]And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, [27] When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days⁴⁹ under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the Lord. [28] And [whether it be] cow or ewe⁵⁰, ye shall not kill it⁵¹ and her young both in one day. [29] And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord, offer [it] at your own will.⁵² [30] On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I [am] the Lord.⁵³ [31] Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I [am] the Lord.⁵⁴ [32] Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will⁵⁵ be hallowed among the children of Israel: I [am] the Lord which hallow you⁵⁶,⁵⁷ [33] That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the Lord. ⁵⁸
