Lev_22_01 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Lev_22_02 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] the LORD.

Lev_22_03 Say unto them, Whosoever [he be] of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I [am] the LORD.

Lev_22_04 What man soever of the seed of Aaron [is] a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing [that is] unclean [by] the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;

Lev_22_05 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;

Lev_22_06 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.

Lev_22_07 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it [is] his food.

Lev_22_08 That which dieth of itself, or is torn [with beasts], he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I [am] the LORD.

Lev_22_09 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.

Lev_22_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.

Lev_22_11 But if the priest buy [any] soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.

Lev_22_12 If the priest's daughter also be [married] unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.

Lev_22_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 meat: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.

Lev_22_14 And if a man eat [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.

Lev_22_15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;

Lev_22_16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.

Lev_22_17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Lev_22_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 for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;

Lev_22_19 [Ye shall offer] at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.

Lev_22_20 [But] whatsoever hath a blemish, [that] shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

Lev_22_21 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish [his] vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.

Lev_22_22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.

Lev_22_23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer [for] a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

Lev_22_24 Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make [any offering thereof] in your land.

Lev_22_25 Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption [is] in them, [and] blemishes [be] in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

Lev_22_26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Lev_22_27 When a bullock, 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 the LORD.

Lev_22_28 And [whether it be] cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.

Lev_22_29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer [it] at your own will.

Lev_22_30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I [am] the LORD.

Lev_22_31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I [am] the LORD.

Lev_22_32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I [am] the LORD which hallow you,
