* And the LORD spoke unto Moses , saying , * Speak unto Aaron and to his sons , that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel , and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me : I am the LORD . * Say unto them , Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations , that goes unto the holy things , which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD , having his uncleanness upon him , that soul shall be cut off from my presence : I am the LORD . * Whosoever of the seed of Aaron is a leper , or has a running issue ; he shall not eat of the holy things , until he be clean . And whoso touches any thing that is unclean by the dead , or a man whose seed goes from him ; * Or whosoever touches any creeping thing , whereby he may be made unclean , or a man of whom he may take uncleanness , whatsoever uncleanness he has ; * The soul which has touched any such shall be unclean until even , and shall not eat of the holy things , unless he wash 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 food . * That which dies of itself , or is torn with beasts , he shall not eat to defile himself therewith ; I am the LORD . * They shall therefore keep mine ordinance , lest they bear sin for it , and die therefore , if they profane it : I the LORD do sanctify them . * 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 . * But if the priest buy any soul with his money , he shall eat of it , and he that is born in his house : they shall eat of his food . * If the priest 's daughter also be married unto a stranger , she may not eat of an offering of the holy things . * But if the priest 's daughter be a widow , or divorced , and have no child , and is returned unto her father 's house , as in her youth , she shall eat of her father 's food : but there shall be no stranger eat thereof . * 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 . * And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel , which they offer unto the LORD ; * Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass , when they eat their holy things : for I the LORD do sanctify them . * And the LORD spoke unto Moses , saying , * Speak unto Aaron , and to his sons , and unto all the children of Israel , and say unto them , Whatsoever he be 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 ; * All of you shall offer at your own will a male without blemish , of the beeves , of the sheep , or of the goats . * But whatsoever has a blemish , that shall all of you not offer : for it shall not be acceptable for you . * And whosoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his vow , or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep , it shall be perfect to be accepted ; there shall be no blemish therein . * Blind , or broken , or physically disabled , or having a leaking sore , or scurvy , or scabbed , all of you shall not offer these unto the LORD , nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD . * Either a bullock or a lamb that has any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts , that may you offer for a freewill offering ; but for a vow it shall not be accepted . * All of you shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised , or crushed , or broken , or cut ; neither shall all of you make any offering thereof in your land . * Neither from a stranger 's hand shall all of you offer the bread of your God of any of these ; because their corruption is in them , and blemishes be 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 brought forth , then it shall be seven days under the dam ; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD . * And whether it be cow , or ewe , all of you shall not kill it and her young both in one day . * And when all of you will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD , offer it at your own will . * On the same day it shall be eaten up ; all of you shall leave none of it until the next day : I am the LORD . * Therefore shall all of you keep my commandments , and do them : I am the LORD . * Neither shall all of you profane my holy name ; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel : I am the LORD which hallow you , * That brought you out of the land of Egypt , to be your God : I am the LORD .
