Leviticus 22 (WEBP)
[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[2] “Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.
[3] “Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh.
[4] “ ‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission,
[5] or whoever touches any creeping thing by which he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may become unclean, whatever uncleanness he has—
[6] the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes his body in water.
[7] When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
[8] He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.
[9] “ ‘They shall therefore follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it and die in it, if they profane it. I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.
[10] “ ‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
[11] But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.
[12] If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
[13] But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any of it.
[14] “ ‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
[15] The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh,
[16] and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’ ”
[17] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[18] “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering:
[19] that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
[20] But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
[21] Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.
[22] You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh.
[23] Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
[24] You must not offer to Yahweh that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land.
[25] You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’ ”
[26] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[27] “When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
[28] Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
[29] “When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
[30] It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Yahweh.
[31] “Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am Yahweh.
[32] You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,
[33] who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am Yahweh.”

Leviticus 22 (KJVS)
[1] And the LORD H3068 spake H1696 (8762) unto Moses H4872, saying H559 (8800),
[2] Speak H1696 (8761) unto Aaron H175 and to his sons H1121, that they separate H5144 (8735) themselves from the holy things H6944 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478, and that they profane H2490 (8762) not my holy H6944 name H8034 [in those things] which they hallow H6942 (8688) unto me: I [am] the LORD H3068.
[3] Say H559 (8798) unto them, Whosoever H376 [he be] of all your seed H2233 among your generations H1755, that goeth H7126 (8799) unto the holy things H6944, which the children H1121 of Israel H3478 hallow H6942 (8686) unto the LORD H3068, having his uncleanness H2932 upon him, that soul H5315 shall be cut off H3772 (8738) from my presence H6440: I [am] the LORD H3068.
[4] What man soever H376 of the seed H2233 of Aaron H175 [is] a leper H6879 (8803), or hath a running issue H2100 (8802); he shall not eat H398 (8799) of the holy things H6944, until he be clean H2891 (8799). And whoso toucheth H5060 (8802) any thing [that is] unclean H2931 [by] the dead H5315, or a man H376 whose seed H2233 H7902 goeth H3318 (8799) from him;
[5] Or whosoever H376 toucheth H5060 (8799) any creeping thing H8318, whereby he may be made unclean H2930 (8799), or a man H120 of whom he may take uncleanness H2930 (8799), whatsoever uncleanness H2932 he hath;
[6] The soul H5315 which hath touched H5060 (8799) any such shall be unclean H2930 (8804) until even H6153, and shall not eat H398 (8799) of the holy things H6944, unless H518 he wash H7364 (8804) his flesh H1320 with water H4325.
[7] And when the sun H8121 is down H935 (8804), he shall be clean H2891 (8804), and shall afterward H310 eat H398 (8799) of the holy things H6944; because it [is] his food H3899.
[8] That which dieth of itself H5038, or is torn H2966 [with beasts], he shall not eat H398 (8799) to defile H2930 (8800) himself therewith: I [am] the LORD H3068.
[9] They shall therefore keep H8104 (8804) mine ordinance H4931, lest they bear H5375 (8799) sin H2399 for it, and die H4191 (8804) therefore, if they profane H2490 (8762) it: I the LORD H3068 do sanctify H6942 (8764) them.
[10] There shall no stranger H2114 (8801) eat H398 (8799) [of] the holy thing H6944: a sojourner H8453 of the priest H3548, or an hired servant H7916, shall not eat H398 (8799) [of] the holy thing H6944.
[11] But if the priest H3548 buy H7069 (8799) [any] soul H5315 with H7075 his money H3701, he shall eat H398 (8799) of it, and he that is born H3211 in his house H1004: they shall eat H398 (8799) of his meat H3899.
[12] If the priest’s H3548 daughter H1323 also be [married] unto a stranger H376 H2114 (8801), she may not eat H398 (8799) of an offering H8641 of the holy things H6944.
[13] But if the priest’s H3548 daughter H1323 be a widow H490, or divorced H1644 (8803), and have no child H2233, and is returned H7725 (8804) unto her father’s H1 house H1004, as in her youth H5271, she shall eat H398 (8799) of her father’s H1 meat H3899: but there shall no stranger H2114 (8801) eat H398 (8799) thereof.
[14] And if a man H376 eat H398 (8799) [of] the holy thing H6944 unwittingly H7684, then he shall put H3254 (8804) the fifth H2549 [part] thereof unto it, and shall give H5414 (8804) [it] unto the priest H3548 with the holy thing H6944.
[15] And they shall not profane H2490 (8762) the holy things H6944 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478, which they offer H7311 (8686) unto the LORD H3068;
[16] Or suffer them to bear H5375 (8689) the iniquity H5771 of trespass H819, when they eat H398 (8800) their holy things H6944: for I the LORD H3068 do sanctify H6942 (8764) them.
[17] And the LORD H3068 spake H1696 (8762) unto Moses H4872, saying H559 (8800),
[18] Speak H1696 (8761) unto Aaron H175, and to his sons H1121, and unto all the children H1121 of Israel H3478, and say H559 (8804) unto them, Whatsoever H376 [he be] of the house H1004 of Israel H3478, or of the strangers H1616 in Israel H3478, that will offer H7126 (8686) his oblation H7133 for all his vows H5088, and for all his freewill offerings H5071, which they will offer H7126 (8686) unto the LORD H3068 for a burnt offering H5930;
[19] [Ye shall offer] at your own will H7522 a male H2145 without blemish H8549, of the beeves H1241, of the sheep H3775, or of the goats H5795.
[20] [But] whatsoever hath a blemish H3971, [that] shall ye not offer H7126 (8686): for it shall not be acceptable H7522 for you.
[21] And whosoever H376 offereth H7126 (8686) a sacrifice H2077 of peace offerings H8002 unto the LORD H3068 to accomplish H6381 (8763) [his] vow H5088, or a freewill offering H5071 in beeves H1241 or sheep H6629, it shall be perfect H8549 to be accepted H7522; there shall be no blemish H3971 therein.
[22] Blind H5788, or broken H7665 (8803), or maimed H2782 (8803), or having a wen H2990, or scurvy H1618, or scabbed H3217, ye shall not offer H7126 (8686) these unto the LORD H3068, nor make H5414 (8799) an offering by fire H801 of them upon the altar H4196 unto the LORD H3068.
[23] Either a bullock H7794 or a lamb H7716 that hath any thing superfluous H8311 (8803) or lacking in his parts H7038 (8803), that mayest thou offer H6213 (8799) [for] a freewill offering H5071; but for a vow H5088 it shall not be accepted H7521 (8735).
[24] Ye shall not offer H7126 (8686) unto the LORD H3068 that which is bruised H4600 (8803), or crushed H3807 (8803), or broken H5423 (8803), or cut H3772 (8803); neither shall ye make H6213 (8799) [any offering thereof] in your land H776.
[25] Neither from a stranger’s H5236 hand H3027 H1121 shall ye offer H7126 (8686) the bread H3899 of your God H430 of any of these; because their corruption H4893 [is] in them, [and] blemishes H3971 [be] in them: they shall not be accepted H7521 (8735) for you.
[26] And the LORD H3068 spake H1696 (8762) unto Moses H4872, saying H559 (8800),
[27] When a bullock H7794, or a sheep H3775, or a goat H5795, is brought forth H3205 (8735), then it shall be seven H7651 days H3117 under the dam H517; and from the eighth H8066 day H3117 and thenceforth H1973 it shall be accepted H7521 (8735) for an offering H7133 made by fire H801 unto the LORD H3068.
[28] And [whether it be] cow H7794 or ewe H7716, ye shall not kill H7819 (8799) it and her young H1121 both in one H259 day H3117.
[29] And when ye will offer H2076 (8799) a sacrifice H2077 of thanksgiving H8426 unto the LORD H3068, offer H2076 (8799) [it] at your own will H7522.
[30] On the same day H3117 it shall be eaten up H398 (8735); ye shall leave H3498 (8686) none of it until the morrow H1242: I [am] the LORD H3068.
[31] Therefore shall ye keep H8104 (8804) my commandments H4687, and do H6213 (8804) them: I [am] the LORD H3068.
[32] Neither shall ye profane H2490 (8762) my holy H6944 name H8034; but I will be hallowed H6942 (8738) among H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478: I [am] the LORD H3068 which hallow H6942 (8762) you,
[33] That brought you out H3318 (8688) of the land H776 of Egypt H4714, to be your God H430: I [am] the LORD H3068.
Young’s Literal Translation
Leviticus 22 (YLT)
[1] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
[2] ‘Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they pollute not My holy name in what they are hallowing to Me; I am Jehovah.
[3] ‘Say unto them, To your generations, any man who draweth near, out of all your seed, unto the holy things which the sons of Israel do sanctify to Jehovah, and his uncleanness on him-even that person hath been cut off from before Me; I am Jehovah.
[4] ‘Any man of the seed of Aaron, and is leprous or hath an issue-of the holy things he doth not eat till that he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed of copulation goeth out from him,
[5] or a man who cometh against any teeming thing which is unclean to him, or against a man who is unclean to him, even any of his uncleanness-
[6] the person who cometh against it-hath even been unclean till the evening, and doth not eat of the holy things, but hath bathed his flesh with water,
[7] and the sun hath gone in, and he hath been clean, and afterwards he doth eat of the holy things, for it is his food;
[8] a carcase or torn thing he doth not eat, for uncleanness thereby; I am Jehovah.
[9] ‘And they have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that they have died for it when they pollute it; I am Jehovah sanctifying them.
[10] ‘And no stranger doth eat of the holy thing; a settler of a priest and an hireling doth not eat of the holy thing;
[11] and when a priest buyeth a person, the purchase of his money, he doth eat of it, also one born in his house; they do eat of his bread.
[12] ‘And a priest’s daughter, when she is a strange man’s,-she, of the heave-offering of the holy things doth not eat;
[13] and a priest’s daughter, when she is a widow, or cast out, and hath no seed, and hath turned back unto the house of her father, as in her youth, of her father’s bread she doth eat; but no stranger doth eat of it.
[14] ‘And when a man doth eat of a holy thing through ignorance, then he hath added its fifth part to it, and hath given it to the priest, with the holy thing;
[15] and they do not pollute the holy things of the sons of Israel-that which they lift up to Jehovah,
[16] nor have caused them to bear the iniquity of the guilt-offering in their eating their holy things; for I am Jehovah, sanctifying them.’
[17] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
[18] ‘Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who bringeth near his offering, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to Jehovah for a burnt-offering;
[19] at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, of the sheep or of the goats;
[20] nothing in which is blemish do ye bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing for you.
[21] ‘And when a man bringeth near a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, to complete a vow, or for a willing-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it is perfect for a pleasing thing: no blemish is in it;
[22] blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed-ye do not bring these near to Jehovah, and a fire-offering ye do not make of them on the altar to Jehovah.
[23] ‘As to an ox or a sheep enlarged or dwarfed-a willing-offering ye do make it, but for a vow it is not pleasing.
[24] As to a bruised, or beaten, or enlarged, or cut thing-ye do not bring it near to Jehovah; even in your land ye do not do it.
[25] And from the hand of a son of a stranger ye do not bring near the bread of your God, of any of these, for their corruption is in them; blemish is in them; they are not pleasing for you.’
[26] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
[27] ‘When ox or lamb or goat is born, and it hath been seven days under its dam, then from the eighth day and henceforth, it is pleasing for an offering, a fire-offering to Jehovah;
[28] but an ox or sheep-it and its young one, ye do not slaughter in one day.
[29] ‘And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice,
[30] on that day it is eaten, ye do not leave of it till morning; I am Jehovah;
[31] and ye have kept my commands, and have done them; I am Jehovah;
[32] and ye do not pollute My holy name, and I have been hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I am Jehovah, sanctifying you,
[33] who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt, to become your God; I am Jehovah.’
