1Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,

2¹⁸⁷“Tell Aaron [Light-bringer] and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel [God prevails], which they make holy to me, and that they not profane את my holy name. I am Adonai.

3“Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout all your generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel [God prevails] make holy to Adonai, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Adonai.

4¹⁸⁸“‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron [Light-bringer] is a leper or has an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose offspring goes from him;

5or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;

6the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water.

7¹⁸⁹When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.

8That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, defiling himself by it. I am Adonai.

9“‘They shall therefore follow my requirements, lest they bear crime deserving peanlty, sin ·missing the goal· for it, and die therein, if they profane it. I am Yahweh M'Kaddesham [Yahweh our Santifier / He sustains breathing who makes them holy].

10¹⁹⁰“‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: ¹⁹¹a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

11But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.

12¹⁹²If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.

13But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has teshuvah ·completely 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.

14“‘If a man eats something holy unintentionally by mistake sin ·error·, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.

15¹⁹³The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel [God prevails], which they offer to Adonai,

16and so cause them to bear the depravity (moral evil) that brings trespass guilt, when they eat their holy things; for I am Yahweh M'Kaddesham [Yahweh our Santifier / He sustains breathing who makes them holy].’” (3)

17Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,

18“Speak to Aaron [Light-bringer], and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel [God prevails], and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel [God prevails], or of the foreigners in Israel [God prevails], who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows, or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to Adonai for a burnt offering;

19that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.

20¹⁹⁴But whatever has a defect, that you shall not offer; for it shall not be acceptable for you.

21¹⁹⁵¹⁹⁶Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Adonai 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.

22Blind, injured, maimed, having a wart, festering, or having a running sore: you shall not offer these to Adonai, ¹⁹⁷¹⁹⁸nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Adonai.

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.

24¹⁹⁹²⁰⁰You must not offer to Adonai that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land.

25²⁰¹You must not receive any of these from the hand of a foreigner to offer as bread for your God, because their deformity is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”

26Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,

27²⁰²“When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is born, then it shall remain seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Adonai.

28²⁰³Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

29“When you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving ²⁰⁴to Adonai, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

30²⁰⁵It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Adonai.

31“Therefore you shall keep my mitzvot ·instructions·, and do them. I am Adonai.

32²⁰⁶You shall not profane את my holy name, ²⁰⁷but I will be made holy among the children of Israel [God prevails]. I am Adonai who makes you holy,

33who brought you out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], to be your God. I am Adonai.”
