Leviticus 22

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 ADONAI said to Moshe,

2 "Tell Aharon and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the people of Isra'el which they set apart as holy for me, so that they will not profane my holy name; I am ADONAI.

3 Tell them, 'Any descendant of yours through all your generations who approaches the holy things that the people of Isra'el consecrate to ADONAI and is unclean will be cut off from before me; I am ADONAI.

4 "'Any descendant of Aharon with tzara'at or a discharge is not to eat the holy things until he is clean. Anyone who has touched a person made unclean by a dead body, or who has had a seminal emission,

5 or who has touched a reptile or insect that can make him unclean, or a man who is unclean for any reason and who can transmit to him his uncleanness -

6 the person who touches any of these will be unclean until evening and is not to eat the holy things unless he bathes his body in water.

7 After sunset he will be clean; and afterwards, he may eat the holy things; because they are his food.

8 But he is not to eat anything that dies naturally or is torn to death by wild animals and thereby make himself unclean; I am ADONAI.

9 The cohanim must observe this charge of mine; otherwise, if they profane it, they will bear the consequences of their sin for doing so and die in it; I am ADONAI, who makes them holy.

10 "'No one who is not a cohen may eat anything holy, nor may a tenant or employee of a cohen eat anything holy.

11 But if a cohen acquires a slave, either through purchase or through his being born in his household, he may share his food.

12 If the daughter of a cohen is married to a man who is not a cohen, she is not to have a share of the food set aside from the holy things.

13 But if the daughter of a cohen is a widow or divorcee and has no child, and she is sent back to her father's house as when she was young, she may share in her father's food; but no one not a cohen is to share in it.

14 If a person eats holy food by mistake, he must add one-fifth to it and give the holy food to the cohen.

15 They are not to profane the holy things of the people of Isra'el that they have set apart for ADONAI

16 and thus cause them to bear guilt requiring a guilt offering, by eating their holy things; because I am ADONAI, who makes them holy.'"

17 ADONAI said to Moshe,

18 "Speak to Aharon and his sons and to the entire people of Isra'el; tell them: 'When anyone, whether a member of the house of Isra'el or a foreigner living in Isra'el, brings his offering, either in connection with a vow or as a voluntary offering, and brings it to ADONAI as a burnt offering,

19 in order for you to be accepted, you must bring a male without defect from the cattle, the sheep or the goats.

20 You are not to bring anything with a defect, because it will not be accepted from you.

21 Whoever brings a sacrifice of peace offerings to ADONAI in fulfillment of a vow or as a voluntary offering, whether it come from the herd or from the flock, it must be unblemished and without defect in order to be accepted.

22 If it is blind, injured, mutilated, has an abnormal growth or has festering or running sores, you are not to offer it to ADONAI or make such an offering by fire on the altar to ADONAI.

23 If a bull or lamb has a limb which is too long or short, you may offer it as a voluntary offering; but for a vow it will not be accepted.

24 An animal with bruised, crushed, torn or cut genitals you are not to offer to ADONAI. You are not to do these things in your land,

25 and you are not to receive any of these from a foreigner for you to offer as bread for your God, because their deformity is a defect in them - they will not be accepted from you.'"

26 ADONAI said to Moshe,

27 "When a bull, sheep or goat is born, it is to stay with its mother for seven days; but from the eighth day on, it may be accepted for an offering made by fire to ADONAI.

28 However, no animal is to be slaughtered together with its young on the same day, neither cow nor ewe.

29 "When you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to ADONAI, you must do it in a way such that you will be accepted.

30 It must be eaten on the same day it is offered; leave none of it till morning; I am ADONAI.

31 "You are to keep my mitzvot and obey them; I am ADONAI.

32 You are not to profane my holy name; on the contrary, I am to be regarded as holy among the people of Isra'el; I am ADONAI, who makes you holy,

33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God; I am ADONAI."

4 "No descendant of Aaron who has a skin disease or a discharge may eat any of the holy offerings until he is clean. Any person who has an emission of semen or touches a dead body,

5 an unclean swarming creature, or an unclean person

6 will be unclean until evening. He must not eat any of the holy offerings unless he has washed himself.

7 When the sun has set, he will be clean. Then he may eat the holy offerings because they are his food.

8 He must never eat the meat of an animal that dies naturally or is killed by wild animals. It will make him unclean. I am the LORD.

9 The priests must do what I order, or their sin will bring them death because they dishonored a holy offering. I am the LORD, who sets them apart as holy.

10 "Laypeople must never eat any holy offering, even if they are visiting a priest or are working for him.

11 But if a priest buys a slave, the slave and anyone born in his household may eat the priest's food.

12 However, if a priest's daughter marries a layman, she must never eat the food taken from the holy contributions.

13 If a priest's daughter is widowed or divorced, doesn't have any children, and comes back to live in her father's home, she may eat her father's food. But a layperson must never eat it.

14 "Those who eat a holy offering by mistake must give another holy offering to the priest and add one-fifth more to it.

15 Priests must not dishonor the holy offerings that the Israelites contribute to the LORD.

16 They must make those people pay the penalty for their guilt because they have eaten the priests' holy offerings. I am the LORD, who sets them apart as holy."

17 The LORD spoke to Moses,

18 "Tell Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites: Israelites or foreigners may bring burnt offerings to the LORD for anything they vowed or as freewill offerings.

19 The offering must be a male that has no defects from your cattle, sheep, or goats in order to be accepted.

20 Never bring any animal with a physical defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf.

21 A person may bring the LORD a fellowship offering to fulfill a vow or for a freewill offering. Whether it is from the cattle, sheep, or goats, it must be an animal that has no defects in order to be accepted. It must never be an animal that has defects.

22 Never bring the LORD an animal that is blind, has broken bones, cuts, warts, scabs, or ringworm. Never give the LORD any of these in a sacrifice by fire on the altar.

23 You may use a bull or a sheep with a deformity or one that is stunted in growth as a freewill offering. However, it will not be accepted for a vow.

24 Never bring the LORD an animal that has bruised, crushed, torn out, or cut out testicles. Never do any of these things to an animal in your land.

25 Never bring any kind of castrated animal received from a foreigner as a food offering for your God. A castrated animal will not be accepted on your behalf because castration is a physical defect."
