1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the prieststhe sons of Aaron, and thou shalt tell them [that] they shall not defile themselves in their nation for the dead ,
1Yahweh said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people,
2but [they may mourn] for a relative who is very near to them, for a father and mother, and sons and daughters, for a brother,
2except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,
3and for a virgin sister that is near to one, that is not espoused to a man; for these one shall defile himself.
3and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
4He shall not defile himself suddenly among his peopleto profane himself.
4He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5And ye shall not shave your head for the dead with a baldness on the top; and they shall not shave their beard, neither shall they make gashes on their flesh.
5“‘They shall not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards or make any cuttings in their flesh.
6They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for they offer the sacrifices of the Lord as the gifts of their God, and they shall be holy.
6They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God, for they offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, the bread of their God. Therefore they shall be holy.
7They shall not take a woman who is a harlot and profaned, or a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy to the Lord his God.
7“‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane. A priest shall not marry a woman divorced from her husband; for he is holy to his God.
8And thou shalt hallow him; he offers the gifts of the Lord your God: he shall be holy , for I the Lord that sanctify them [am] holy.
8Therefore you shall sanctify him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I Yahweh, who sanctify you, am holy.
9And if the daughter of a priest should be profaned to go a whoring, she profanes the name of her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
9“‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall be burned with fire.
10And the priest that is chief among his brethren, the oil having been poured upon the head of the anointed one, and he having been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not take the mitre off his head , and shall not rend his garments:
10“‘He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, or tear his clothes.
11neither shall he go in to any dead body, neither shall he defile himself for his father or his mother.
11He must not go in to any dead body, or defile himself for his father or for his mother.
12And he shall not go forth out of the sanctuary, and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, because the holy anointing oil of God [is] upon him: I [am] the Lord.
12He shall not go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am Yahweh.
13He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe.
13“‘He shall take a wife in her virginity.
14But a widow, or one that is put away, or profaned, or a harlot, these he shall not take; but he shall take for a wife a virgin of his own people .
14He shall not marry a widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute. He shall take a virgin of his own people as a wife.
15And he shall not profane his seed among his people: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies him.
15He shall not profane his offspring among his people, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies him.’”
16And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
16Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
17Say to Aaron, A man of thy tribe throughout your generations, who shall have a blemish on him, shall not draw nigh to offer the gifts of his God.
17“Say to Aaron, ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the bread of his God.
18No man who has a blemish on him shall draw nigh; a manlame, blind, with his nose disfigured, or his ears cut,
18For whatever man he is that has a defect, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,
19a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot,
19or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
20or hump-backed, or blear-eyed, or that has lost his eye-lashes, or a man who has a malignant ulcer, or tetter, or one that has lost a testicle.
20or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles.
21Whoever of the seed of Aaron the priest has a blemish on him, shall not draw nigh to offer sacrifices to thy God, because he has a blemish on him; he shall not draw nigh to offer the gifts of God.
21No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22The gifts of God [are] most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things.
22He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23Only he shall not approach the veil, and he shall not draw nigh to the altar, because he has a blemish; and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, for I am the Lord that sanctifies them.
23He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a defect; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”
24And Moses spoke to Aaronand his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
24So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and let them take heed concerning the holy things of the children of Israel, so they shall not profane my holy name in any of the things which they consecrate to me: I [am] the Lord.
2“Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.
3Say to them, Every man throughout your generations, whoever of all your seed shall approach to the holy things, whatsoever the children of Israel shall consecrate to the Lord, while his uncleanness is upon him, that soul shall be cut off from me: I [am] the Lord your God.
3“Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh.
4And the man of the seed of Aaron the priest, if he should have leprosy or issue of the reins, shall not eat of the holy things, until he be cleansed; and he that touches any uncleanness of a dead body, or the man whose seed of copulation shall have gone out from him,
4“‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission,
5or whosoever shall touch any unclean reptile, which will defile him, or [who shall touch] a man, whereby he shall defile him according to all his uncleanness:
5or whoever touches any creeping thing by which he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may become unclean, whatever uncleanness he has—
6whatsoever soul shall touch them shall be unclean until evening; he shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water,
6the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes his body in water.
7and the sun go down, and then he shall be clean; and then shall he eat of all the holy things, for they are his bread.
7When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
8He shall not eat that which dies of itself, or is taken of beasts, so that he should be polluted by them: I [am] the Lord.
8He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.
9And they shall keep my ordinances, that they do not bear iniquity because of them, and die because of them, if they shall profane them: I [am] the Lord God that sanctifies them.
9“‘They shall therefore follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it and die in it, if they profane it. I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.
10And no stranger shall eat the holy things: one that sojourns with a priest, or a hireling, shall not eat the holy things.
10“‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11But if a priest should have a soul purchased for money, he shall eat of his bread; and they that are born in his house, they also shall eat of his bread.
11But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.
12And if the daughter of a priest should marry a stranger, she shall not eat of the offerings of the sanctuary.
12If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
13And if the daughter of a priest should be a widow, or put away, and have no seed, she shall return to her father's house, as in her youth: she shall eat of her father's bread, but no stranger shall eat of it.
13But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any of it.
14And the man who shall ignorantly eat holy things, shall add the fifth part to it, and give the holy thing to the priest.
14“‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
15And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord.
15The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh,
16So should they bring upon themselves the iniquity of trespass in their eating their holy things: for I [am] the Lord that sanctifies them.
16and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”
17And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
17Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18Speak to Aaronand his sons, and to all the congregation of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Any man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that abide among them in Israel, who shall offer his gifts according to all their confession and according to all their choice, whatsoever they may bring to the Lord for whole-burnt-offerings—
18“Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering:
19your free-will-offerings [shall] be males without blemish of the herds, or of the sheep, or of the goats.
19that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20They shall not bring to the Lord anything that has a blemish in it, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
20But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21And whatsoever man shall offer a peace-offering to the Lord, discharging a vow, or in the way of free -will -offering, or an offering in your feasts, of the herds or of the sheep, it shall be without blemish for acceptance: there shall be no blemish in it.
21Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.
22One that is blind, or broken, or has its tongue cut out, or is troubled with warts, or has a malignant ulcer, or tetters, they shall not offer these to the Lord; neither shall ye offer any of them for a burnt-offering on the altar of the Lord.
22You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh.
23And a calf or a sheep with the ears cut off, or that has lost its tail, thou shalt slay them for thyself; but they shall not be accepted for thy vow.
23Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24That which has broken testicles , or is crushed or gelt or mutilated,—thou shalt not offer them to the Lord, neither shall ye sacrifice them upon your land.
24You must not offer to Yahweh that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land.
25Neither shall ye offer the gifts of your God of all these things by the hand of a stranger, because there is corruption in them, a blemish in them: these shall not be accepted for you.
25You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”
26And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
26Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
27As for a calf, or a sheep, or a goat, whenever it is born, then shall it be seven days under its mother; and on the eighth day and after they shall be accepted for sacrifices, a burnt-offering to the Lord.
27“When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
28And a bullock and a ewe, it and its young, thou shalt not kill in one day.
28Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29And if thou shouldest offer a sacrifice, a vow of rejoicing to the Lord, ye shall offer it so as to be accepted for you.
29“When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
30In that same day it shall be eaten ; ye shall not leave of the flesh till the morrow: I am the Lord.
30It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Yahweh.
31And ye shall keep my commandmentsand do them.
31“Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am Yahweh.
32And ye shall not profane the name of the Holy One, and I will be sanctified in the midst of the children of Israel. I [am] the Lord that sanctifies you ,
32You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,
33who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the Lord.
33who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am Yahweh.”
