Leviticus:22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the LORD spake 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 goeth 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 .
*
What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper ,
or hath a running issue ;
he shall not eat of the holy things ,
until he be clean .
And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead ,
or a man whose seed goeth from him ;
*
Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing ,
whereby he may be made unclean ,
or a man of whom he may take uncleanness ,
whatsoever uncleanness he hath ;
*
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 .
*
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 dieth 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 meat .
*
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 meat :
but there shall 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 spake 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 ;
*
Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish ,
of the beeves ,
of the sheep ,
or of the goats .
*
But whatsoever hath a blemish ,
that shall ye not offer :
for it shall not be acceptable for you .
*
And whosoever offereth 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 maimed ,
or having a wen ,
or scurvy ,
or scabbed ,
ye 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 hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts ,
that mayest thou 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 make any offering thereof in your land .
*
Neither from a stranger '
s hand shall ye 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 spake 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 ,
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 at your own will .
*
On the same day it shall be eaten up ;
ye shall leave none of it until the morrow :
I am the LORD .
*
Therefore shall ye keep my commandments ,
and do them :
I am the LORD .
*
Neither shall ye 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 .
