Sundry Rules for Priests

1

Then the LORDh3068 spokeh1696 to Mosesh4872, sayingh559,

2

"Tellh1696 Aaronh175 and his sonsh1121 to be carefulh5144a with the holyh6944 gifts of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, whichh834 they dedicateh6942 to Me, so as not to profaneh2490c My holyh6944 nameh8034; I am the LORDh3068.

3

"Sayh559 to them, ` aIf anyh3605 manh376 amongh4480 allh3605 your  1descendantsh2233 throughout your generationsh1755 approachesh7126 the holyh6944 gifts whichh834 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 dedicateh6942 to the LORDh3068, while he has an uncleannessh2932a, that personh5315 shall be cuth3772 offh3772 from beforeh4480h6440 Me; I am the LORDh3068.

4

aNoh376h3808 manh376 of the  1descendantsh2233 of Aaronh175, whoh1931 is a leperh6879 orh176 who has a dischargeh2100, may eath398 of the holyh6944 gifts untilh5704h834 he is cleanh2891.  bAnd if one touchesh5060 anythingh3605 made uncleanh2931 by a corpseh5315 orh176 if  ca manh376 hash3318 a seminalh7902h2233 emissionh7902,

5

orh176  aif a manh376 touchesh5060 anyh3605 teemingh8318 thingsh8318 by whichh834 he is madeh2930 uncleanh2930, orh176 anyh120 manh120 by whomh834 he is madeh2930 uncleanh2930, whateverh3605 his uncleannessh2932a;

6

a  1personh5315 whoh834 touchesh5060 any such shall be uncleanh2930 untilh5704 eveningh6153, and shall not eath398 of the holyh6944 gifts unlessh3588h518 he has bathedh7364 his  2bodyh1320 in waterh4325.

7

`But when the sunh8121 setsh935, he will be cleanh2891, and afterwardh310 he shall eath398 of the holyh6944 gifts, for  ait is his  1foodh3899.

8

`He shall not eath398  aan animal whichh5038 diesh5038 or is tornh2966 by beasts, becomingh2930 uncleanh2930 by it; I am the LORDh3068.

9

`They shall therefore keeph8104  aMy chargeh4931, so that  bthey will not bearh5375 sinh2399 becauseh5921 of it and dieh4191 thereby becauseh3588 they profaneh2490c it; I am the LORDh3068 who sanctifiesh6942 them.

10

aNoh3808  1laymanh2114a, however, is to eath398 the holyh6944 gift; a sojournerh8453 with the priesth3548 or a hiredh7916 manh7916 shall not eath398 of the holyh6944 gift.

11

aBut ifh3588 a priesth3548 buysh7069 a  1slaveh5315 as his propertyh7075 with his moneyh3701,  2that oneh1931 may eath398 of it, and thoseh1992a whoh3211 are bornh3211 in his househ1004 may eath398 of his  3foodh3899.

12

`Ifh3588 a priest'sh3548 daughterh1323 is marriedh802 to a  1laymanh2114a, she shall not eath398 of the  2offeringh8641 of the gifts.

13

`But ifh3588 a priest'sh3548 daughterh1323 becomesh1961 a widowh490 or divorcedh1644, and hash369 noh369 childh2233 and returnsh7725 to her father'sh1 househ1004 as in her youthh5271, she shall eath398 of her father'sh1  1foodh3899;  abut noh3808h3605  2laymanh2114a shall eath398 of it.

14

aBut ifh3588 a manh376 eatsh398 a holyh6944 gift unintentionallyh7684, then he shall addh3254 to it a fifthh2549 of it and shall giveh5414 the holyh6944 gift to the priesth3548.

15

aThey shall not profaneh2490c the holyh6944 gifts of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 whichh834 they offerh7311 to the LORDh3068,

16

and so cause them  ato bearh5375  1punishmenth5771 for guilth819 by eatingh398 their holyh6944 gifts; for I am the LORDh3068 who sanctifiesh6942 them.' "

Flawless Animals for Sacrifice

17

Then the LORDh3068 spokeh1696 to Mosesh4872, sayingh559,

18

"Speakh1696 to Aaronh175 and to his sonsh1121 and to allh3605 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 and sayh559 to them, ` aAnyh376 manh376 of the househ1004 of Israelh3478 or of the aliensh1616 in Israelh3478 whoh834 presentsh7126 his offeringh7133a, whether it is anyh3605 of their  1votiveh5088 or anyh3605 of their freewillh5071 offeringsh5071, whichh834 they presenth7126 to the LORDh3068 for a burnth5930a offeringh5930a--

19

 afor you to be acceptedh7522--it must be a maleh2145 withouth8549 defecth8549 from the cattleh1241, the sheeph3775, or the goatsh5795.

20

aWhateverh3605h834 has a defecth4140b, you shall not offerh7126, for it will not be acceptedh7522 for you.

21

`Whenh3588 a manh376 offersh7126 a sacrificeh2077 of peaceh8002 offeringsh8002 to the LORDh3068  ato  1fulfillh6381 a specialh6381 vowh5088 orh176 for a freewillh5071 offeringh5071, of the herdh1241 orh176 of the flockh6629, it must be perfecth8549 to be acceptedh7522; there shall be noh3808h3605 defecth4140b in it.

22

`Those that are blindh5788b orh176 fracturedh7665 orh176 maimedh2782 orh176 having a runningh2990 soreh2990 orh176 eczemah1618 orh176 scabsh3217, you shall not offerh7126 to the LORDh3068, norh3808 makeh5414 of them an offeringh801 by fireh801 on the altarh4196 to the LORDh3068.

23

`In respect to an oxh7794 or a lambh7716 which has an  1overgrownh8311 or stuntedh7038 member, you may presenth6213a it for a freewillh5071 offeringh5071, but for a vowh5088 it will not be acceptedh7521.

24

`Also  aanything with its testicles bruisedh4600 or crushedh3807 or tornh5423 or cuth3772, you shall not offerh7126 to the LORDh3068, or  1sacrificeh6213a in your landh776,

25

norh3808 shall you accepth7126 anyh4480h3605 suchh428 from the handh3027 of a foreignerh1121h5236 for offeringh7126  aas the  1foodh3899 of your Godh430; for their corruptionh4893a is in them, they have a defecth4140b, they shall not be acceptedh7521 for you.' "

26

Then the LORDh3068 spokeh1696 to Mosesh4872, sayingh559,

27

"Whenh3588 an oxh7794 orh176 a sheeph3775 orh176 a goath5795 is bornh3205, it shall  1remainh1961  asevenh7651 daysh3117  2with its motherh517, and from the eighthh8066 dayh3117 on it shall be acceptedh7521 as a sacrificeh7133a of an offeringh801 by fireh801 to the LORDh3068.

28

aBut, whether it is an oxh7794 orh176 a sheeph7716, you shall not killh7819 both it and its youngh1121 in oneh259 dayh3117.

29

"Whenh3588 you sacrificeh2076  aa sacrificeh2077 of thanksgivingh8426 to the LORDh3068, you shall sacrificeh2076 it so that you may be acceptedh7522.

30

"It shall be eatenh398 on the sameh1931 dayh3117, you shall leaveh3498 noneh3808 of it untilh5704 morningh1242; I am the LORDh3068.

31

aSo you shall keeph8104 My commandmentsh4687, and doh6213a them; I am the LORDh3068.

32

"You shall not profaneh2490c My holyh6944 nameh8034, but I will be sanctifiedh6942 amongh8432 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478; I am the LORDh3068 who sanctifiesh6942 you,

33

 awho broughth3318 you out from the landh776 of Egypth4714, to be your Godh430; I am the LORDh3068."
