Leviticus 22 — Chapter 22

Leviticus · Restored Names Edition

1And Yahuah (LORD) spake unto Moses, saying,

2Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Yashar'el (Israel), and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am Yahuah (LORD).

3Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goes unto the holy things, which the children of Yashar'el (Israel) hallow unto Yahuah (LORD), having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am Yahuah (LORD).

4What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or has a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso touches any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him;

5Or whosoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he has;

6The soul which has touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.

7And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.

8That which dies of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am Yahuah (LORD).

9They shall therefore keep my ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I Yahuah (LORD) do sanctify them.

10There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

11But 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.

12If the priest’s daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.

13But 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.

14And 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.

15And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Yashar'el (Israel), which they offer unto Yahuah (LORD);

16Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I Yahuah (LORD) do sanctify them.

17And Yahuah (LORD) spake unto Moses, saying,

18Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Yashar'el (Israel), and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Yashar'el (Israel), or of the strangers in Yashar'el (Israel), that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto Yahuah (LORD) for a burnt offering;

19You shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.

20But whatsoever has a blemish, that shall you not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

21And whosoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings unto Yahuah (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.

22Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, you shall not offer these unto Yahuah (LORD), nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto Yahuah (LORD).

23Either a bullock or a lamb that has any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that may you offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

24You shall not offer unto Yahuah (LORD) that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall you make any offering thereof in your land.

25Neither from a stranger’s hand shall you offer the bread of your Elohim (God) of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

26And Yahuah (LORD) spake unto Moses, saying,

27When 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 Yahuah (LORD).

28And whether it be cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and her young both in one day.

29And when you will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Yahuah (LORD), offer it at your own will.

30On the same day it shall be eaten up; you shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am Yahuah (LORD).

31Therefore shall you keep my commandments, and do them: I am Yahuah (LORD).

32Neither shall you profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Yashar'el (Israel): I am Yahuah (LORD) which hallow you,

33That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your Elohim (God): I am Yahuah (LORD).
