Leviticus 22

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,AKJV — Leviticus 22:1

2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow to me: I am the LORD.AKJV — Leviticus 22:2

3 Say to them, Whoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goes to the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.AKJV — Leviticus 22:3

4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or has a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoever touches any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him;AKJV — Leviticus 22:4

5 Or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;AKJV — Leviticus 22:5

6 The soul which has touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.AKJV — Leviticus 22:6

7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.AKJV — Leviticus 22:7

8 That which dies of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith; I am the LORD.AKJV — Leviticus 22:8

9 They shall therefore keep my ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.AKJV — Leviticus 22:9

10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.AKJV — Leviticus 22:10

11 But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.AKJV — Leviticus 22:11

12 If the priest’ daughter also be married to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.AKJV — Leviticus 22:12

13 But if the priest’ daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned to her father’ house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’ meat: but there shall be no stranger eat thereof.AKJV — Leviticus 22:13

14 And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof to it, and shall give it to the priest with the holy thing.AKJV — Leviticus 22:14

15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the LORD;AKJV — Leviticus 22:15

16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.AKJV — Leviticus 22:16

17 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,AKJV — Leviticus 22:17

18 Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, Whatever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer to the LORD for a burnt offering;AKJV — Leviticus 22:18

19 You shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.AKJV — Leviticus 22:19

20 But whatever has a blemish, that shall you not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.AKJV — Leviticus 22:20

21 And whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.AKJV — Leviticus 22:21

22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a running sore, or scurvy, or scabbed, you shall not offer these to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the LORD.AKJV — Leviticus 22:22

23 Either a bullock or a lamb that has any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that may you offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.AKJV — Leviticus 22:23

24 You shall not offer to the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall you make any offering thereof in your land.AKJV — Leviticus 22:24

25 Neither from a stranger’ hand shall you offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.AKJV — Leviticus 22:25

26 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,AKJV — Leviticus 22:26

27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thereafter it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire to the LORD.AKJV — Leviticus 22:27

28 And whether it be cow, or ewe, you shall not kill it and her young both in one day.AKJV — Leviticus 22:28

29 And when you will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, offer it at your own will.AKJV — Leviticus 22:29

30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; you shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD.AKJV — Leviticus 22:30

31 Therefore shall you keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.AKJV — Leviticus 22:31

32 Neither shall you profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,AKJV — Leviticus 22:32

33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.AKJV — Leviticus 22:33
