Leviticus 22 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Lev 22:1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev 22:2Speak unto 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 the things that they hallow unto me: I am Jehovah.
Lev 22:3Say unto them, Every one of all your seed, throughout your generations, that approacheth the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am Jehovah.
Lev 22:4Whatsoever man of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a flux, he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. And he that toucheth any one that is unclean by a dead person, or a man whose seed of copulation hath passed from him;
Lev 22:5or a man that toucheth any crawling thing whereby he becometh unclean, or a man by whom he may become unclean, whatever may be his uncleanness,
Lev 22:6-- a person that toucheth any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things; but he shall bathe his flesh with water,
Lev 22:7and when the sun goeth down, he shall be clean, and may afterwards eat of the holy things; for it is his food.
Lev 22:8Of a dead carcase and what is torn shall he not eat, to make himself unclean therewith: I am Jehovah.
Lev 22:9And they shall keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die by it, if they profane it: I am Jehovah who do hallow them.
Lev 22:10And no stranger shall eat the holy thing; the sojourner with the priest, and the hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
Lev 22:11But if a priest buy any one for money, he may eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they may eat of his food.
Lev 22:12And a priest's daughter who is married to a stranger may not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things.
Lev 22:13But a priest's daughter that becometh a widow, or is divorced, and hath no seed, and returneth unto her father's house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father's food; but no stranger shall eat thereof.
Lev 22:14And if a man eat of a holy thing through inadvertence, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing.
Lev 22:15And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel which they offer unto Jehovah,
Lev 22:16and cause them to bear the iniquity of trespass when they eat their holy things; for I am Jehovah who do hallow them.

Lev 22:17And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev 22:18Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that presenteth his offering for any of his vows, and for any of his voluntary offerings, which they present to Jehovah as a burnt-offering,
Lev 22:19it shall be for your acceptance, without blemish, a male of the oxen, of the sheep, and of the goats.
Lev 22:20Nothing that hath a defect shall ye present; for it shall not be acceptable for you.
Lev 22:21And if any present a sacrifice of peace-offering to Jehovah to accomplish a vow, or a voluntary offering of oxen or small cattle, it shall be without blemish to be accepted: there shall be no defect therein.
Lev 22:22Blind, or broken, or maimed, or ulcerous, or with itch, or scabbed -- ye shall not present these to Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Jehovah.
Lev 22:23A bullock and a sheep that hath a member too long or too short, that mayest thou offer as a voluntary offering; but as a vow it shall not be accepted.
Lev 22:24That which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut shall ye not present to Jehovah; neither in your land shall ye do the like.
Lev 22:25Nor from the hand of the stranger shall ye present the bread of your God, of any of these; for their corruption is in them: a defect is in them; they shall not be accepted for you.
Lev 22:26And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev 22:27An ox, or a sheep, or a goat, when it is brought forth, shall be seven days under its dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering by fire to Jehovah.
Lev 22:28A cow, or sheep -- it and its young shall ye not slaughter in one day.
Lev 22:29And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it for your acceptance.
Lev 22:30On that day shall it be eaten: ye shall leave none of it until morning: I am Jehovah.
Lev 22:31And ye shall observe my commandments and do them: I am Jehovah.
Lev 22:32And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am Jehovah who do hallow you,
Lev 22:33who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
