1. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2. Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the Israelites and not profane my holy name in what they consecrate to me; I am Yahweh.
3. Say to them: Throughout your generations, any man among all your offspring who approaches the holy things that the sons of Israel consecrate to Yahweh while his uncleanness is on him—that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh.
4. Any descendant of Aaron who is leprous or has a discharge shall not eat the holy things until he is clean, nor whoever touches any unclean corpse or a man whose emission of seed goes out from him.
5. Or anyone who touches any swarming creature whereby he becomes unclean, or a person whereby he becomes unclean, for any uncleanness of his.
6. A person who touches it becomes unclean until evening and shall not eat of the holy things unless he washes his flesh in water.
7. When the sun goes down, he becomes clean, and afterward he eats from the holy things, because it is his food.
8. He shall not eat a carcass or anything torn so as to become unclean by it. I am Yahweh.
9. They shall keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it and die in it if they profane it. I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.
10. Any stranger shall not eat the holy thing; a priest's sojourner or hired servant shall not eat the holy thing.
11. But if a priest buys a person with his money as a possession, he may eat of it; those born in his house may eat his food.
12. If a priest's daughter marries a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
13. But if a priest's daughter becomes a widow or divorced, childless, and returns to her father's house as in her youth, she shall eat her father's bread; no stranger shall eat any of it.
14. If a man eats something holy unwittingly, he shall add its fifth part to it and give the holy thing to the priest.
15. They shall not profane the sacred offerings of Israel's sons that they present to Yahweh.
16. and cause them to bear the guilt of iniquity when they eat their holy things, for I, Yahweh, sanctify them.
17. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18. Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites, and tell them: Any man from the house of Israel or a sojourner in Israel who presents his offering—whether any of their vows or any of their freewill offerings that they bring to Yahweh as a burnt offering.
19. To be acceptable to you, a male without blemish from the cattle, lambs, or goats.
20. Whatever has a blemish in it, you shall not offer, for it will not be acceptable for you.
21. When anyone presents a peace offering to Yahweh to fulfill a vow or a freewill offering from the herd or the flock, it must be without defect to gain acceptance; no blemish may be in it.
22. Blind, or broken, or maimed, or with a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed—you shall not offer these to Yahweh, nor give any of them as a fire offering on the altar to Yahweh.
23. You may offer an ox or a sheep that has a superfluous part or lacks parts as a freewill offering, but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24. You shall not bring to Yahweh anything bruised, crushed, torn, or cut; nor shall you do so in your land.
25. Do not offer food to your God from the hand of a son of a foreigner—any of these—for their corruption is in them; a blemish is in them. They shall not be accepted for you.
26. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
27. When an ox, lamb, or goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother; from the eighth day onward it shall be acceptable as an offering by fire to Yahweh.
28. Whether an ox or a sheep, you shall not slaughter it and its young on one day.
29. When you sacrifice a thanksgiving sacrifice to Yahweh, sacrifice it at your good pleasure.
30. It shall be eaten that day; leave none of it until morning. I am Yahweh.
31. Keep my commandments and do them. I am Yahweh.
32. Do not defile my holy name, but I will be sanctified among the sons of Israel; I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.
33. I am Yahweh who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be your God.
