* And the LORD spoke unto Moses , saying , * Speak unto Aaron and to his sons that they abstain from the holy things of the sons of Israel and that they not profane my holy name [in those things ] which they sanctify unto me . I [am ] the LORD . * Say unto them , Any man of all your seed among your generations that goes in unto the holy things , which the children of Israel sanctify unto the LORD , having his uncleanness upon him , that soul shall be cut off from my presence . I [am ] the LORD . * Whatever man of the seed of Aaron who [is ] a leper or has a running issue shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean . And whosoever touches any thing [that is ] unclean [by ] the dead or a man whose seed has gone out from him * or the man who has touched any reptile , by which he shall be unclean , or a man of whom he shall become unclean , according to whatever uncleanness he has , * the person who has touched any such shall be unclean until evening and shall not eat of the holy things until he has washed his flesh with water . * And when the sun is down , he shall be clean and shall afterward eat of the holy things , because it is his bread . * That which dies of itself or is torn [by beasts ], he shall not eat to defile himself therewith . I [am ] the LORD . * They shall therefore keep my ordinance lest they bear sin for it and die therefore , if they profane it . I AM he who sanctifies them . * No stranger shall eat [of ] the holy thing ; a guest of the priest or a hired servant shall not eat [of ] the holy thing . * But when the priest shall buy [any ] soul with his money , he shall eat of it , and he that is born in his house , they shall eat of his bread . * If the priest 's daughter becomes married unto a stranger , she may not eat of that which is set apart of the holy things . * But if the priest 's daughter becomes a widow or divorced and has no child and is returned unto her father 's house as in her youth , she shall eat of her father 's bread ; but no stranger shall eat thereof . * And if a man eats [of ] the holy thing by error , then he shall add the fifth [part ] thereof unto it and shall give [it ] unto the priest with the offering that he ate . * And they shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel , which they set apart unto the LORD , * or suffer them to bear the iniquity of their guilt , when they eat their holy things . For I AM he who sanctifies them . * And the LORD spoke unto Moses , saying , * Speak unto Aaron and to his sons and unto all the sons of Israel and say unto them , Any man of the house of Israel or of the strangers in Israel that will offer his oblation for all his vows and for all his freewill offerings , which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering , * [ye shall offer ] of your own free will a male without blemish of the bovine cattle of the sheep or of the goats . * [But ye ] shall not offer any thing that has a blemish , for it shall not be acceptable for you . * Likewise when anyone offers a sacrifice of peace unto the LORD to present [his ] vow or a freewill offering in bovine cattle or sheep , it must be perfect to be accepted ; there shall be no blemish therein . * Blind or broken or maimed or having a running sore or scurvy or scabbed , ye shall not offer these unto the LORD , nor make an offering on fire of them upon the altar of the LORD . * A bullock or a lamb that has any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts , [thou may ] offer for a freewill offering ; but for a vow it shall not be accepted . * Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised or crushed or broken or cut ; neither shall ye do thus in [all ] your land . * Neither from the son of a stranger 's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these because their corruption [is ] in them [and ] blemishes [are ] in them ; they shall not be accepted for you . * And the LORD spoke unto Moses , saying , * When a bullock or a sheep or a goat is born , then it shall be seven days under the dam ; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering on fire unto the LORD . * And [whether it is ] cow or ewe , ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day . * And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD , offer [it ] of your own free will . * On the same day it shall be eaten up ; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow . I [am ] the LORD . * Keep , therefore , my commandments and do them . I am the LORD . * Profane ye not my holy name , and I will sanctify myself in the midst of the sons of Israel . I AM he who sanctifies you * and who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God . I [am ] the LORD .:
