Chapter 22 |
| 1 | And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying, |
|
2 | 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. |
| 3
| 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. |
| 4 | 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; |
| 5 | 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; |
|
6 | 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. |
|
7 | And when the sun is down,
he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is
his food. |
| 8
| That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he
shall not eat to defile himself therewith; I am the LORD. |
| 9 | 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. |
| 10 | 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. |
|
11 | 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. |
| 12 | If the priest's daughter also be married
unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things. |
| 13 |
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 be no stranger eat thereof. |
| 14 | 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. |
| 15 | And
they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they
offer unto the LORD; |
| 16 | Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of
trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify
them. |
| 17 |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 18 | 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; |
| 19 | Ye shall
offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or
of the goats. |
|
20 | But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not
offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you. |
| 21 | 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. |
|
22 | 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. |
| 23 |
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. |
|
24 | 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. |
| 25 | 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. |
| 26 |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 27 | 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. |
|
28 | And whether it be cow, or
ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day. |
| 29 | And when
ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own
will. |
| 30 |
On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of
it until the morrow: I am the LORD. |
| 31 | Therefore shall ye keep my
commandments, and do them: I am the LORD. |
|
32 | Neither shall ye profane
my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the
LORD which hallow you, |
| 33 | That brought you out of the land of Egypt,
to be your God: I am the LORD. |
