Leviticus 22

1 locutus quoque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

2 loquere ad Aaron et ad filios eius ut caveant ab his quae consecrata sunt filiorum Israhel et non contaminent nomen sanctificatorum mihi quae ipsi offerunt ego Dominus

Speake vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, that they be separated from the holy thinges of the children of Israel, and that they pollute not mine holy name in those things, which they hallowe vnto me: I am the Lord.

3 dic ad eos et ad posteros eorum omnis homo qui accesserit de stirpe vestra ad ea quae consecrata sunt et quae obtulerunt filii Israhel Domino in quo est inmunditia peribit coram Domino ego sum Dominus

Say vnto them, Whosoeuer he be of all your seede among your generations after you, that toucheth the holy things which the children of Israel hallowe vnto the Lord, hauing his vncleannesse vpon him, euen that person shall be cut off from my sight: I am the Lord.

4 homo de semine Aaron qui fuerit leprosus aut patiens fluxum seminis non vescetur de his quae sanctificata sunt mihi donec sanetur qui tetigerit inmundum super mortuo et ex quo egreditur semen quasi coitus

Whosoeuer also of the seede of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue, he shall not eate of the holy things vntill he be cleane: and who so toucheth any that is vncleane, by reason of the dead, or a man whose issue of seede runneth from him,

5 et qui tangit reptile et quodlibet inmundum cuius tactus est sordidus

Or the man that toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made vncleane, or a man, by whom he may take vncleannesse, whatsoeuer vncleannesse he hath,

6 inmundus erit usque ad vesperum et non vescetur his quae sanctificata sunt sed cum laverit carnem suam aqua

The person that hath touched such, shall therefore be vncleane vntill the euen, and shall not eat of ye holy things, except he haue washed his flesh with water.

7 et occubuerit sol tunc mundatus vescetur de sanctificatis quia cibus illius est

But when the Sunne is downe, hee shalbe cleane, and shall afterward eate of the holy things: for it is his foode.

8 morticinum et captum a bestia non comedent nec polluentur in eis ego sum Dominus

Of a beast that dyeth, or is rent with beasts, whereby he may be defiled, hee shall not eate: I am the Lord.

9 custodient praecepta mea ut non subiaceant peccato et moriantur in sanctuario cum polluerint illud ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos

Let them keepe therefore mine ordinance, least they beare their sinne for it, and die for it, if they defile it: I the Lord sanctifie them.

10 omnis alienigena non comedet de sanctificatis inquilinus sacerdotis et mercennarius non vescentur ex eis

There shall no stranger also eate of the holie thing, neither the ghest of the Priest, neither shall an hired seruant eat of the holie thing:

11 quem autem sacerdos emerit et qui vernaculus domus eius fuerit hii comedent ex eis

But if the Priest bye any with money, he shall eate of it, also he that is borne in his house: they shall eate of his meate.

12 si filia sacerdotis cuilibet ex populo nupta fuerit de his quae sanctificata sunt et de primitiis non vescetur

If the Priests daughter also be maried vnto a stranger, she may not eate of the holy offrings.

13 sin autem vidua vel repudiata et absque liberis reversa fuerit ad domum patris sui sicut puella consuerat aletur cibis patris sui omnis alienigena comedendi ex eis non habet potestatem

Notwithstanding if the Priests daughter be a widowe or diuorced, and haue no childe, but is returned vnto her fathers house shee shall eate of her fathers bread, as she did in her youth but there shall no stranger eate thereof.

14 qui comederit de sanctificatis per ignorantiam addet quintam partem cum eo quod comedit et dabit sacerdoti in sanctuarium

If a man eate of the holie thing vnwittingly, he shall put the fift part thereunto, and giue it vnto the Priest with the halowed thing.

15 nec contaminabunt sanctificata filiorum Israhel quae offerunt Domino

So they shall not defile the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer vnto the Lord,

16 ne forte sustineant iniquitatem delicti sui cum sanctificata comederint ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos

Neither cause the people to beare the iniquitie of their trespas, while they eate their holy thing: for I the Lord do halowe them.

17 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

18 loquere ad Aaron et filios eius et ad omnes filios Israhel dicesque ad eos homo de domo Israhel et de advenis qui habitant apud vos qui obtulerit oblationem suam vel vota solvens vel sponte offerens quicquid illud obtulerit in holocaustum Domini

Speake vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, and to all the children of Israel, and say vnto them, Whosoeuer he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his sacrifice for all their vowes, and for all their free offrings, which they vse to offer vnto the Lord for a burnt offring,

19 ut offeratur per vos masculus inmaculatus erit ex bubus et ex ovibus et ex capris

Yee shall offer of your free minde a male without blemish of the beeues, of the sheepe, or of the goates.

20 si maculam habuerit non offeretis neque erit acceptabile

Ye shall not offer any thing that hath a blemish: for that shall not be acceptable for you.

21 homo qui obtulerit victimam pacificorum Domino vel vota solvens vel sponte offerens tam de bubus quam de ovibus inmaculatum offeret ut acceptabile sit omnis macula non erit in eo

And whosoeuer bringeth a peace offring vnto ye Lord to accomplish his vowe, or for a free offring, of the beeues, or of the sheepe, his free offring shall bee perfect, no blemish shalbe in it.

22 si caecum fuerit si fractum si cicatricem habens si papulas aut scabiem vel inpetiginem non offeretis ea Domino neque adolebitis ex eis super altare Domini

Blinde, or broken, or maimed, or hauing a wenne, or skiruie, or skabbed: these shall yee not offer vnto the Lord nor make an offring by fire of these vpon the altar of the Lord.

23 bovem et ovem aure et cauda amputatis voluntarie offerre potes votum autem ex his solvi non potest

Yet a bullocke, or a sheepe that hath any member superfluous, or lacking, such mayest thou present for a free offring, but for a vowe it shall not be accepted.

24 omne animal quod vel contritis vel tunsis vel sectis ablatisque testiculis est non offeretis Domino et in terra vestra hoc omnino ne faciatis

Ye shall not offer vnto ye Lord that which is bruised or crusshed, or broken, or cut away, neither shall ye make an offring thereof in your land,

25 de manu alienigenae non offeretis panes Deo vestro et quicquid aliud dare voluerint quia corrupta et maculata sunt omnia non suscipietis ea

Neither of ye hand of a strager shall ye offer ye bread of your God of any of these, because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: therefore shall they not be accepted for you.

26 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

27 bos ovis et capra cum genita fuerint septem diebus erunt sub ubere matris suae die autem octavo et deinceps offerri poterunt Domino

When a bullocke, or a sheepe, or a goate shall be brought foorth, it shalbe euen seuen daies vnder his damme: and from the eight day forth, it shalbe accepted for a sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord.

28 sive illa bos sive ovis non immolabuntur una die cum fetibus suis

29 si immolaveritis hostiam pro gratiarum actione Domino ut possit esse placabilis

So when ye will offer a thanke offring vnto the Lord, ye shall offer willingly.

30 eodem die comedetis eam non remanebit quicquam in mane alterius diei ego Dominus

The same day it shalbe eaten, yee shall leaue none of it vntill the morowe: I am the Lord.

31 custodite mandata mea et facite ea ego Dominus

Therefore shall ye keepe my commandements and do them: for I am the Lord.

32 ne polluatis nomen meum sanctum ut sanctificer in medio filiorum Israhel ego Dominus qui sanctifico vos

33 et eduxi de terra Aegypti ut essem vobis in Deum ego Dominus
