Leviticus 22:26-33

26 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saynge:

27 when an oxe, a shepe or a goote is brought forth, it shalbe seue dayes vnder the damme. And from the .viij. daye forth, it shalbe accepted vnto a gifte in the sacrifice of the Lorde.

28 And whether it be oxe or shepe, ye shall not kyll it, and hir yonge: both in one daye.

29 When ye will offre a thankofferynge vnto the Lorde, ye shall so offre it that ye maye be accepted.

30 And the same daye it must be eate vp, so that ye leaue none of it vntill the morowe. For I am the Lorde,

31 kepe now my commaundementes and do them, for I am the Lorde.

32 And polute not my holy name, that I maye be halowed amonge the childern of Israel. For I am the Lorde which halowe you,

33 and broughte you out of the londe of Egipte, to be youre God: for I am the Lorde.

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.
