Leviticus 22:25-33

25 de manu alienigenae non offeretis panes Deo vestro et quicquid aliud dare voluerint quia corrupta et maculata sunt omnia non suscipietis ea

26 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

27 bos ovis et capra cum genita fuerint septem diebus erunt sub ubere matris suae die autem octavo et deinceps offerri poterunt Domino

28 sive illa bos sive ovis non immolabuntur una die cum fetibus suis

29 si immolaveritis hostiam pro gratiarum actione Domino ut possit esse placabilis

30 eodem die comedetis eam non remanebit quicquam in mane alterius diei ego Dominus

31 custodite mandata mea et facite ea ego Dominus

32 ne polluatis nomen meum sanctum ut sanctificer in medio filiorum Israhel ego Dominus qui sanctifico vos

33 et eduxi de terra Aegypti ut essem vobis in Deum ego Dominus

Leviticus 22:25-33 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO LEVITICUS 22

In this chapter several laws are delivered out, forbidding the priests to eat of holy things, when in any uncleanness, or at any time what dies of itself, or is torn of beasts, Le 22:1-9; also showing who belonging to the priests might or might not eat of the holy things, Le 22:10-16; and others requiring that whatever offerings were brought by the children, of Israel, they should be perfect and without blemish, Le 22:17-25; and also declaring what age a creature should be of when sacrificed, and the time when thank offerings were to be eaten, Le 22:26-30; concluding with an exhortation to observe the commands of God, and sanctify him, and not profane his name, Le 22:31-33.
