| 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. |
