< Leviticus 22 >

1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
2 “Tell Aaron and his sons to greatly respect the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to me; by doing that you will respect me [MTY], Yahweh.
Speak to Aaron and to sons his so they may separate themselves from [the] holy things of [the] people of Israel and not they will profane [the] name of holiness my which they [are] setting apart as holy to me I [am] Yahweh.
3 “Tell them that for all future time, if any of their descendants comes near to the sacred offerings that the Israeli people dedicate to me while he is unfit to work for me, that person will no longer be allowed to work for me. I, Yahweh, [am commanding this].
Say to them to generations your every man - who he will draw near from all offspring your to the holy things which they will set apart as holy [the] people of Israel to Yahweh and uncleanness his [is] on him and it will be cut off the person that from to before me I [am] Yahweh.
4 “If any descendant of Aaron has a contagious skin disease or a discharge from his sexual organs, he is not allowed to eat any of the sacred offerings until he is cured. He will also be unfit for his work if he touches anything which has become unacceptable to me because it has touched a corpse, or if he touches anyone who as an emission of semen,
A man a man from [the] offspring of Aaron and he [is] having a serious skin disease or [is] discharging in the holy things not he will eat until that he will be pure and who [-ever] touches any [thing] unclean of a corpse or anyone whom it will go out from him a laying of seed.
5 or if he touches anything that crawls on the ground, or if he touches any person who causes him to be unfit for his work.
Or anyone who he will touch any swarming thing which it is unclean to him or anyone who he is unclean to him to all uncleanness his.
6 Any priest who touches such things must bathe, and he must not touch anyone else until that evening.
Anyone who it will touch it and it will be unclean until the evening and not he will eat any of the holy things that except he has washed body his with water.
7 After the sun sets, he will be permitted to eat some of the sacred offerings that are for him to eat.
And it will go the sun and he will be clean and after he will eat any of the holy things for [is] food his it.
8 He must not eat anything that is found dead or that has been killed by wild animals, because if he did that, he would be unfit to work for me. I, Yahweh [am commanding those things].
A carcass and a torn animal not he will eat to become unclean by it I [am] Yahweh.
9 “The priests must obey my commandments in order that they will not become guilty and die as a result of (despising/not obeying) them.
And they will keep duty my and not they will bear on it sin and they will die by it for they will profane it I [am] Yahweh [who] sets apart as holy them.
10 “Anyone who is not a member of a priest’s family is not permitted to eat any of a sacred offering, and no one who is visiting the priest or whom the priest has hired is permitted to eat it.
And any stranger not he will eat a holy thing a resident alien of a priest and a hired laborer not he will eat a holy thing.
11 But if a priest buys a slave, or if a slave is born in his house, that slave is permitted to eat such food.
And a priest if he will acquire a person [the] acquisition of money his he he will eat in it and [the] one born of household his they they will eat in food his.
12 If a priest’s daughter marries a man who is not a priest, she no longer is permitted to eat the sacred food.
And a daughter of a priest if she will belong to a man strange she in [the] contribution of the holy things not she will eat.
13 But if a priest’s daughter who has no children becomes a widow or becomes divorced, if she returns to her father’s house to live there like she did when she was young, she may eat the same food that her father eats. But no other person is permitted to eat any of it.
And a daughter of a priest if she will be a widow and a divorced [woman] and offspring not [belongs] to her and she will return to [the] house of father her like youth her any of [the] food of father her she will eat and any stranger not he will eat in it.
14 “If anyone who is not permitted to eat a sacred offering eats it without realizing that it is sacred, he must pay the priest for the offering, and pay him an extra one-fifth of its value.
And anyone if he will eat a holy thing by inadvertence and he will add fifth its to it and he will give to the priest the holy thing.
15 When the priests bring offerings to me, the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to them, they must not treat those offerings as though they are not sacred
And not they will profane [the] holy things of [the] people of Israel which they will lift up to Yahweh.
16 by allowing those who are not priests to eat any of those offerings. If they did that, they would become guilty and must make a payment. I am Yahweh, the one who causes those offerings to be sacred.”
And they will cause to bear them iniquity of guilt when eat they holy things their for I [am] Yahweh [who] sets apart as holy them.
17 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
18 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israeli people and tell them that I command this: ‘If any of you Israelis or foreigners who live in Israel brings to me an animal that will be completely burned [on the altar], either as a result of a solemn promise that you made to me or to be an offering that is given voluntarily,
Speak to Aaron and to sons his and to all [the] people of Israel and you will say to them a person a person from [the] house of Israel and of the sojourner[s] in Israel who he will present present his for all vows their and for all freewill offerings their which they will present to Yahweh to a burnt offering.
19 it must be an animal that has no defects, in order that it will be accepted by me.
For acceptance your unblemished a male among the cattle among the young rams and among the goats.
20 Do not bring any animals that have defects, because I will not accept them as an offering from you.
All that [is] in it a blemish not you will present for not for acceptance it will be of you.
21 [Similarly], when someone brings from his cattle or sheep or goats an offering to maintain fellowship with me, either to fulfill a promise that he made to me or to be a voluntary offering, in order that I will accept it, it must have no defects [DOU] or blemishes.
And anyone if he will present a sacrifice of peace offering to Yahweh to fulfill a vow or to a freewill offering in the herd or in the flock unblemished it will be for acceptance any blemish not it will be in it.
22 Do not offer to me animals that are blind or injured or maimed/crippled, or any animal that has warts or a festering sore [DOU].
Blindness or a fracture or a mutilation or a wart or eczema or scabs not you will present these to Yahweh and a fire offering not you must give any of them on the altar to Yahweh.
23 You may present to me to be a voluntary offering an ox or a sheep that is injured or stunted, but it will not be accepted to fulfill a promise made to me.
And an ox and a sheep [having] something enlarged and [having] something stunted a freewill offering you will offer it and for a vow not it will be accepted.
24 You must not offer to me animals whose testicles are bruised or crushed or torn or cut. You must not injure the testicles of any animal in your land,
And [one which] is squashed and [one which] is crushed and [one which] is torn and [one which] is cut not you will present to Yahweh and in land your not you will do [it].
25 and you must not accept such animals that are sold/given to you by a foreigner. You must not offer them to me as a sacrifice for me. Such animals will not be accepted by me, because they are deformed or have defects.’”
And from [the] hand of a son of foreignness not you must present [the] food of God your any of all these [animals] for disfigurement their [is] in them a blemish [is] in them not they will be accepted for you.
26 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
27 “When a calf or lamb or goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. After that, it will be acceptable as an offering to me that will be burned.
An ox or a young ram or a goat if it will be born and it will be seven days under mother its and from [the] day eighth and onwards it will be accepted to a present of a fire offering to Yahweh.
28 Do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its baby on the same day.
And an ox or a sheep it and young its not you must cut [the] throat of in a day one.
29 “Then you sacrifice an animal to thank [me for what I have done], sacrifice it in a way that is acceptable to me.
And if you will sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh for acceptance your you will sacrifice [it].
30 The meat must be eaten on that day; do not leave any of it until the next morning. I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding this].
On the day that it will be eaten not you will leave over any of it until morning I [am] Yahweh.
31 “Obey all my commands [DOU]. I, Yahweh, [am commanding them];
And you will keep commandments my and you will do them I [am] Yahweh.
32 do not dishonor me [MTY] [by disobeying them]. You Israeli people must acknowledge that I, Yahweh, am holy, and I am the one who causes you to be holy.
And not you will profane [the] name of holiness my and I will show myself holy in among [the] people of Israel I [am] Yahweh [who] sets apart as holy you.
33 And I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order to show that that I, Yahweh, am [and will always be] your God.”
Who brought out you from [the] land of Egypt to become for you God I [am] Yahweh.
