1. And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
  
2. Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they do not profane my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am the LORD.
  
3. Say to them, Whoever he be of all your descendents among your generations, that goes unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.
  
4. Whatever man of the descendents of Aaron is a leper, or has a flowing discharge; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him;
  
5. Or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;
  
6. The soul which has touched any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he washes his flesh with water.
  
7. And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.
  
8. That which dies of itself, or is torn by beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD.
  
9. They shall therefore keep my ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die from it, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
  
10. There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
  
11. But if the priest buys any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his food.
  
12. If the priest's daughter also be married to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
  
13. But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and is returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's food: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.
  
14. And if a man eats of the holy thing unknowingly, then he shall add the fifth part thereof to it, and shall give it to the priest with the holy thing.
  
15. And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;
  
16. Or permit them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
  
17. And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
  
18. Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, Whoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his offering for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer to the LORD for a burnt offering;
  
19. You shall offer of your own will a male without blemish, of the beef animals, of the sheep, or of the goats.
  
20. But whatever has a blemish, that shall you not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
  
21. And whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beef animals or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
  
22. Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a running sore, or scaly, or scabbed, you shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.
  
23. Either a bullock or a lamb that has anything extra or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
  
24. You shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall you make any offering thereof in your land.
  
25. Neither from a stranger's 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.
  
26. And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
  
27. When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and onwards it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
  
28. And whether it be cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
  
29. And when you will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it of your own will.
  
30. On the same day it shall be eaten up; you shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD.
  
31. Therefore shall you keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
  
32. Neither shall you profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD who hallows you,
  
33. That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
