Leviticus 22

English Standard Version ESV

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 "Speak to Aaron and his sons so that they abstain from the holy things of the people of Israel, which they dedicate to me, so that they do not profane my holy name: I am the LORD.

3 Say to them, 'If any one of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things that the people of Israel dedicate to the LORD, while he has an uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.

4 None of the offspring of Aaron who has a leprous disease or a discharge may eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean through contact with the dead or a man who has had an emission of semen,

5 and whoever touches a swarming thing by which he may be made unclean or a person from whom he may take uncleanness, whatever his uncleanness may be--

6 the person who touches such a thing shall be unclean until the evening and shall not eat of the holy things unless he has bathed his body in water.

7 When the sun goes down he shall be clean, and afterward he may eat of the holy things, because they are his food.

8 He shall not eat what dies of itself or is torn by beasts, and so make himself unclean by it: I am the LORD.'

9 They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it and die thereby when they profane it: I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

10 "A lay person shall not eat of a holy thing; no foreign guest of the priest or hired servant shall eat of a holy thing,

11 but if a priest buys a slave as his property for money, the slave may eat of it, and anyone born in his house may eat of his food.

12 If a priest's daughter marries a layman, she shall not eat of the contribution of the holy things.

13 But if a priest's daughter is widowed or divorced and has no child and returns to her father's house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father's food; yet no lay person shall eat of it.

14 And if anyone eats of a holy thing unintentionally, he shall add the fifth of its value to it and give the holy thing to the priest.

15 They shall not profane the holy things of the people of Israel, which they contribute to the LORD,

16 and so cause them to bear iniquity and guilt, by eating their holy things: for I am the LORD who sanctifies them."

17 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

18 "Speak to Aaron and his sons and all the people of Israel and say to them, When any one of the house of Israel or of the sojourners in Israel presents a burnt offering as his offering, for any of their vows or freewill offerings that they offer to the LORD,

19 if it is to be accepted for you it shall be a male without blemish, of the bulls or the sheep or the goats.

20 You shall not offer anything that has a blemish, for it will not be acceptable for you.

21 And when anyone offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from the herd or from the flock, to be accepted it must be perfect; there shall be no blemish in it.

22 Animals blind or disabled or mutilated or having a discharge or an itch or scabs you shall not offer to the LORD or give them to the LORD as a food offering on the altar.

23 You may present a bull or a lamb that has a part too long or too short for a freewill offering, but for a vow offering it cannot be accepted.

24 Any animal that has its testicles bruised or crushed or torn or cut you shall not offer to the LORD; you shall not do it within your land,

25 neither shall you offer as the bread of your God any such animals gotten from a foreigner. Since there is a blemish in them, because of their mutilation, they will not be accepted for you."

26 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

27 "When an ox or sheep or goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day on it shall be acceptable as a food offering to the LORD.

28 But you shall not kill an ox or a sheep and her young in one day.

29 And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

30 It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until morning: I am the LORD.

31 "So you shall keep my commandments and do them: I am the LORD.

32 And you shall not profane my holy name, that I may be sanctified among the people of Israel. I am the LORD who sanctifies you,

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

The Message Bible MSG

1 God spoke to Moses,

2 "Tell Aaron and his sons to treat the holy offerings that the Israelites consecrate to me with reverence so they won't desecrate my holy name. I am God.

3 "Tell them, From now on, if any of your descendants approaches in a state of ritual uncleanness the holy offerings that the Israelites consecrate to God, he will be cut off from my presence. I am God.

4 "Each and every one of Aaron's descendants who has an infectious skin disease or a discharge may not eat any of the holy offerings until he is clean. Also, if he touches anything defiled by a corpse, or has an emission of semen,

5 or is contaminated by touching a crawling creature, or touches a person who is contaminated for whatever reason

6 - a person who touches any such thing will be ritually unclean until evening and may not eat any of the holy offerings unless he has washed well with water.

7 After the sun goes down he is clean and may go ahead and eat the holy offerings; they are his food.

8 But he must not contaminate himself by eating anything found dead or torn by wild animals. I am God.

9 "The priests must observe my instructions lest they become guilty and die by treating the offerings with irreverence. I am God who makes them holy.

10 "No layperson may eat anything set apart as holy. Nor may a priest's guest or his hired hand eat anything holy.

11 But if a priest buys a slave, the slave may eat of it; also the slaves born in his house may eat his food.

12 If a priest's daughter marries a layperson, she may no longer eat from the holy contributions.

13 But if the priest's daughter is widowed or divorced and without children and returns to her father's household as before, she may eat of her father's food. But no layperson may eat of it.

14 "If anyone eats from a holy offering accidentally, he must give back the holy offering to the priest and add twenty percent to it.

15 "The priests must not treat with irreverence the holy offerings of the Israelites that they contribute to God

16 lest they desecrate themselves and make themselves guilty when they eat the holy offerings. I am God who makes them holy."

17 God spoke to Moses,

18 "Tell Aaron and his sons and all the People of Israel, Each and every one of you, whether native born or foreigner, who presents a Whole-Burnt-Offering to God to fulfill a vow or as a Freewill-Offering,

19 must make sure that it is a male without defect from cattle, sheep, or goats for it to be acceptable.

20 Don't try slipping in some creature that has a defect - it won't be accepted.

21 Whenever anyone brings an offering from cattle or sheep as a Peace-Offering to God to fulfill a vow or as a Freewill-Offering, it has to be perfect, without defect, to be acceptable.

22 Don't try giving God an animal that is blind, crippled, mutilated, an animal with running sores, a rash, or mange. Don't place any of these on the Altar as a gift to God.

23 You may, though, offer an ox or sheep that is deformed or stunted as a Freewill-Offering, but it is not acceptable in fulfilling a vow.

24 Don't offer to God an animal with bruised, crushed, torn, or cut-off testicles. Don't do this in your own land

25 but don't accept them from foreigners and present them as food for your God either. Because of deformities and defects they will not be acceptable."

26 God spoke to Moses:

27 "When a calf or lamb or goat is born, it is to stay with its mother for seven days. After the eighth day, it is acceptable as an offering, a gift to God.

28 Don't slaughter both a cow or ewe and its young on the same day.

29 When you sacrifice a Thanksgiving-Offering to God, do it right so it will be acceptable.

30 Eat it on the same day; don't leave any leftovers until morning. I am God.

31 "Do what I tell you; live what I tell you. I am God.

32 "Don't desecrate my holy name. I insist on being treated with holy reverence among the People of Israel. I am God who makes you holy

33 and brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am God."
