NIV

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses saying:
1 The LORD said to Moses,
2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they beware of those things that are consecrated of the children of Israel: and defile not the name of the things sanctified to me, which they offer. I am the Lord.
2 “Tell Aaron and his sons to treat with respect the sacred offerings the Israelites consecrate to me, so they will not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.
3 Say to them and to their posterity: Every man of your race, that approacheth to those things that are consecrated, and which the children of Israel have offered to the Lord, in whom there is uncleanness, shall perish before the Lord. I am the Lord.
3 “Say to them: ‘For the generations to come, if any of your descendants is ceremonially unclean and yet comes near the sacred offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the LORD, that person must be cut off from my presence. I am the LORD.
4 The man of the seed of Aaron, that is a leper, or that suffereth a running of the seed, shall not eat of those things that are sanctified to me, until he be healed. He that toucheth any thing unclean by occasion of the dead: and he whose seed goeth from him as in generation:
4 “ ‘If a descendant of Aaron has a defiling skin disease or a bodily discharge, he may not eat the sacred offerings until he is cleansed. He will also be unclean if he touches something defiled by a corpse or by anyone who has an emission of semen,
5 And he that toucheth a creeping thing, or any unclean thing, the touching of which is defiling:
5 or if he touches any crawling thing that makes him unclean, or any person who makes him unclean, whatever the uncleanness may be.
6 Shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat those things that are sanctified. But when he hath washed his flesh with water,
6 The one who touches any such thing will be unclean till evening. He must not eat any of the sacred offerings unless he has bathed himself with water.
7 And the sun is down, then being purified, he shall eat of the sanctified things, because it is his meat.
7 When the sun goes down, he will be clean, and after that he may eat the sacred offerings, for they are his food.
8 That which dieth of itself, and that which was taken by a beast, they shall not eat, nor be defiled therewith. I am the Lord.
8 He must not eat anything found dead or torn by wild animals, and so become unclean through it. I am the LORD.
9 Let them keep my precepts, that they may not fall into sin, and die in the sanctuary, when they shall have defiled it. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
9 “ ‘The priests are to perform my service in such a way that they do not become guilty and die for treating it with contempt. I am the LORD, who makes them holy.
10 No stranger shall eat of the sanctified things: a sojourner of the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of them.
10 “ ‘No one outside a priest’s family may eat the sacred offering, nor may the guest of a priest or his hired worker eat it.
11 But he whom the priest hath bought, and he that is his servant, born in his house, these shall eat of them.
11 But if a priest buys a slave with money, or if slaves are born in his household, they may eat his food.
12 If the daughter of a priest be married to any of the people, she shall not eat of those things that are sanctified nor of the firstfruits.
12 If a priest’s daughter marries anyone other than a priest, she may not eat any of the sacred contributions.
13 But if she be a widow, or divorced, and having no children return to her father’s house, she shall eat of her father’s meats, as she was wont to do when she was a maid. No stranger hath leave to eat of them.
13 But if a priest’s daughter becomes a widow or is divorced, yet has no children, and she returns to live in her father’s household as in her youth, she may eat her father’s food. No unauthorized person, however, may eat it.
14 He that eateth of the sanctified things through ignorance, shall add the fifth part with that which he ate, and shall give it to the priest into the sanctuary.
14 “ ‘Anyone who eats a sacred offering by mistake must make restitution to the priest for the offering and add a fifth of the value to it.
15 And they shall not profane the sanctified things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord:
15 The priests must not desecrate the sacred offerings the Israelites present to the LORD
16 Lest perhaps they bear the iniquity of their trespass, when they shall have eaten the sanctified things. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
16 by allowing them to eat the sacred offerings and so bring upon them guilt requiring payment. I am the LORD, who makes them holy.’ ”
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 The LORD said to Moses,
18 Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who dwell with you, that offereth his oblation, either paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whatsoever it be which he presenteth for a holocaust of the Lord,
18 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites and say to them: ‘If any of you—whether an Israelite or a foreigner residing in Israel—presents a gift for a burnt offering to the LORD, either to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering,
19 To be offered by you: it shall be a male without blemish of the beeves, or of the sheep, or of the goats.
19 you must present a male without defect from the cattle, sheep or goats in order that it may be accepted on your behalf.
20 If it have a blemish you shall not offer it: neither shall it be acceptable.
20 Do not bring anything with a defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf.
21 The man that offereth a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, either paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whether of beeves or of sheep, shall offer it without blemish, that it may be acceptable. There shall be no blemish in it.
21 When anyone brings from the herd or flock a fellowship offering to the LORD to fulfill a special vow or as a freewill offering, it must be without defect or blemish to be acceptable.
22 If it be blind, or broken, or have a scar or blisters, or a scab, or a dry scurf: you shall not offer them to the Lord, nor burn any thing of them upon the Lord’s altar.
22 Do not offer to the LORD the blind, the injured or the maimed, or anything with warts or festering or running sores. Do not place any of these on the altar as a food offering presented to the LORD.
23 An ox or a sheep, that hath the ear and the tail cut off, thou mayst offer voluntarily: but a vow may not be paid with them.
23 You may, however, present as a freewill offering an ox or a sheep that is deformed or stunted, but it will not be accepted in fulfillment of a vow.
24 you shall not offer to the Lord any beast that hath the testicles bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away: neither shall you do any such things in your land.
24 You must not offer to the LORD an animal whose testicles are bruised, crushed, torn or cut. You must not do this in your own land,
25 you shall not offer bread to your God, from the hand of a stranger, nor any other thing that he would give: because they are all corrupted, and defiled. You shall not receive them.
25 and you must not accept such animals from the hand of a foreigner and offer them as the food of your God. They will not be accepted on your behalf, because they are deformed and have defects.’ ”
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
26 The LORD said to Moses,
27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, they shall be seven days under the udder of their dam: but the eighth day, and thenceforth, they may be offered to the Lord.
27 “When a calf, a lamb or a goat is born, it is to remain with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as a food offering presented to the LORD.
28 Whether it be a cow, or a sheep, they shall not be sacrificed the same day with their young ones.
28 Do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its young on the same day.
29 If you immolate a victim for thanksgiving to the Lord, that he may be favourable,
29 “When you sacrifice a thank offering to the LORD, sacrifice it in such a way that it will be accepted on your behalf.
30 You shall eat it the same day. There shall not any of it remain until the morning of the next day. I am the Lord.
30 It must be eaten that same day; leave none of it till morning. I am the LORD.
31 Keep my commandments, and do them. I am the Lord.
31 “Keep my commands and follow them. I am the LORD.
32 Profane not my holy name, that I may be sanctified in the midst of the children of Israel. I am the Lord who sanctify you:
32 Do not profane my holy name, for I must be acknowledged as holy by the Israelites. I am the LORD, who made you holy
33 And who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God. I am the Lord.
33 and who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD.”
