Leviticus

Chapter 22

1 And Jehovah/God spoke/'communicated doctrine categorically'
  {dabar - Piel intensive stem}
unto Moses, saying, 2
Speak unto Aaron and to his sons,
that they separate themselves
from the holy things of the children of Israel,
and that they profane not My holy name
in those things which they hallow unto Me.

I am Jehovah/God.

3 Say unto them,
Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations,
who goes unto the holy things,
which the children of Israel hallow unto Jehovah/God,
having his uncleanness upon him,
that soul shall be cut off from My presence.

I am Jehovah/God.

4 What man so ever 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; 5
or whosoever touches any creeping thing,
whereby he may be made unclean,
or a man of whom he may take uncleanness,
whatsoever uncleanness he has; 6
the soul which has touched any such
shall be unclean until evening,
and shall not eat of the holy things,
unless he wash his flesh with water.

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

8 That which dies of itself,
or is torn with animals/beasts,
he shall not eat to defile himself therewith.

I am Jehovah/God.

9 They shall therefore keep My ordinance,
lest they bear sin for it,
and die therefore,
if they profane it.
I Jehovah/God do sanctify them.

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

11 But if the priest buys any soul with his money,
he shall eat of it,
and he who is born in his house.
They shall eat of his food/meat.

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

13 But 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 food/meat.
But there shall no stranger eat thereof.

14 And if a man eats 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.

15 And they shall not profane
the holy things of the children of Israel,
which they offer unto Jehovah/God;
16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass,
when they eat their holy things.

For I Jehovah/God do sanctify them.

17 And Jehovah/God spoke/'communicated doctrine categorically'
  {dabar - Piel intensive stem}
unto Moses, saying, 18
Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons,
and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them,
Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel,
or of the strangers in Israel,
that will offer his oblation/offering {qorban}
for all his vows,
and for all his freewill offerings,
which they will offer unto Jehovah/God for a burnt offering; 19
you shall offer at your own will
a male without blemish, of the beeves/cattle,
of the sheep, or of the goats.

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

21 And whosoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings
unto Jehovah/God
to accomplish his vow,
or a freewill offering in beeves/cattle or sheep,
it shall be perfect to be accepted;
there shall be no blemish therein.

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

23 Either a bull 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.

24 You shall not offer unto Jehovah/God
that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut;
neither shall you make any offering thereof in your land.

25 Neither from a stranger's hand
shall you offer the bread of your 'Elohiym/Godhead
of any of these;
because their corruption is in them,
and blemishes be in them.

They shall not be accepted for you.

26 And Jehovah/God spoke/'communicated doctrine categorically'
  {dabar - Piel intensive stem}
unto Moses, saying, 27
When a bull, 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 Jehovah/God.
28 And whether it be cow or ewe,
you shall not kill it and her young both in one day.

29 And when you will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving
unto Jehovah/God, offer it at your own will.

30 On the same day it shall be eaten up;
you shall leave none of it until the morrow.

I am Jehovah/God.

31 Therefore shall you keep My commandments,
and do them.

I am Jehovah/God.

32 Neither shall you profane My holy name;
but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel.
I am Jehovah/God Who hallows you,
33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt,
to be your 'Elohiym/Godhead.

I am Jehovah/God.
