1
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2
Tell Aaron and his sons to treat with respect the sacred offerings that the Israelites have consecrated to Me, so that they do not profane My holy name. I am the LORD.
3
Tell them that for the generations to come, if any of their descendants in a state of uncleanness approaches the sacred offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the LORD, that person must be cut off from My presence. I am the LORD.
4
If a descendant of Aaron has a skin disease (a) or a discharge, he may not eat the sacred offerings until he is clean. Whoever touches anything defiled by a corpse or by a man who has an emission of semen,
5
or whoever touches a crawling creature or a person that makes him unclean, whatever the uncleanness may be
6
the man who touches any of these will remain unclean until evening. He must not eat from the sacred offerings unless he has bathed himself with water.
7
When the sun has set, he will become clean, and then he may eat from the sacred offerings, for they are his food.
8
He must not eat anything found dead or torn by wild animals, which would make him unclean. I am the LORD.
9
The priests must keep My charge, lest they bear the guilt and die because they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
10
No one outside a priest’s family may eat the sacred offering, nor may the guest of a priest or his hired hand eat it.
11
But if a priest buys a slave with his own money, or if a slave is born in his household, that slave may eat his food.
12
If the priest’s daughter is married to a man other than a priest, she is not to eat of the sacred contributions.
13
But if a priest’s daughter with no children becomes widowed or divorced and returns to her father’s house, she may share her father’s food as in her youth. But no outsider may share it.
14
If anyone eats a sacred offering in error, he must add a fifth to its value and give the sacred offering to the priest.
15
The priests must not profane the sacred offerings that the Israelites present to the LORD
16
by allowing the people to eat the sacred offerings and thus to bear the punishment for guilt. For I am the LORD who sanctifies them.”

Worthy Offerings

17
Then the LORD said to Moses,
18
Speak to Aaron and his sons and all the Israelites and tell them, ‘Any man of the house of Israel or any foreign resident who presents a gift for a burnt offering to the LORD, whether to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering,
19
must offer an unblemished male from the cattle, sheep, or goats in order for it to be accepted on your behalf.
20
You must not present anything with a defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf.
21
When a man presents a peace offering to the LORD from the herd or flock to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering, it must be without blemish or defect to be acceptable.
22
You are not to present to the LORD any animal that is blind, injured, or maimed, or anything with a running sore, a festering rash, or a scab; you must not put any of these on the altar as an offering made by fire to the LORD.
23
You may present as a freewill offering an ox (b) or sheep that has a deformed or stunted limb, but it is not acceptable in fulfillment of a vow.
24
You are not to present to the LORD an animal whose testicles are bruised, crushed, torn, or cut; you are not to sacrifice them in your land.
25
Neither you nor a foreigner shall present food to your God from any such animal. They will not be accepted on your behalf, because they are deformed and flawed.’”
26
Then the LORD said to Moses,
27
When an ox,(c) a sheep, or a goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as an offering made by fire to the LORD.
28
But you must not slaughter an ox (d) or a sheep on the same day as its young.
29
When you sacrifice a thank offering to the LORD, offer it so that it may be acceptable on your behalf.
30
It must be eaten that same day. Do not leave any of it until morning. I am the LORD.
31
You are to keep My commandments and practice them. I am the LORD.
32
You must not profane My holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy among the Israelites. I am the LORD who sanctifies you,
33
who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD.”

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2
Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.
3
Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am the LORD.
4
“‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission,
5
or whoever touches any creeping thing by which he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may become unclean, whatever uncleanness he has
6
the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes his body in water.
7
When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
8
He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by it. I am the LORD.
9
“‘They shall therefore follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it and die in it, if they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
10
“‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11
But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.
12
If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
13
But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any of it.
14
“‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
15
The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the LORD,
16
and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”

Worthy Offerings

17
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
18
Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to the LORD for a burnt offering:
19
that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20
But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21
Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.
22
You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the LORD.
23
Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24
You must not offer to the LORD that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land.
25
You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”
26
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
27
When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to the LORD.
28
Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29
When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
30
It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am the LORD.
31
Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am the LORD.
32
You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am the LORD who makes you holy,
33
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am the LORD.”
