11
But if a priest purchases a servant, that person can eat it, and servants born into the priest's household can also eat his food.
12
If a priest's daughter marries a layman, she is not allowed to eat the holy offerings.
13
But if a priest's daughter is a widow or divorced and has no children and so returns to her father's household as when she was young, she can eat her father's food. But, again, no layperson is allowed to eat it.
14
If someone eats a holy offering unintentionally, they must provide the priest with an equal item, plus one-fifth.
15
The Israelites must not make the holy offerings impure that they offer up to the LORD
16
or make themselves liable to punishment requiring compensation by eating their own holy offerings. I am the LORD, who makes them holy.
Unacceptable animal offerings
17 The LORD said to Moses:
18
Tell Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites: Whenever someone from Israel's house or from the immigrants in Israel presents their offering to the LORD as an entirely burned offering—whether it is payment for a solemn promise or a spontaneous gift—
19
for it to be acceptable on your behalf, it must be a flawless male from the herd, the sheep, or the goats.
20
You must not present anything that has an imperfection, because it will not be acceptable on your behalf.
21
Whenever someone presents a communal sacrifice of well-being to the LORD from the herd or flock—whether it is payment for a solemn promise or a spontaneous gift—it must be flawless to be acceptable; it must not have any imperfection.
