Leviticus 22 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Lev 22:1The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
Lev 22:2"Tell Aharon and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Yisra'el, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.
Lev 22:3Tell them, 'If anyone of all your seed throughout your generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Yisra'el make holy to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am the LORD.
Lev 22:4"'Whoever of the seed of Aharon 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 seed goes from him;
Lev 22:5or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;
Lev 22:6the 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.
Lev 22:7When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
Lev 22:8That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, defiling himself by it. I am the LORD.
Lev 22:9"'They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
Lev 22:10"'No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the Kohanim, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
Lev 22:11But if a Kohen 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.
Lev 22:12If a Kohen's daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
Lev 22:13But if a Kohen'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.
Lev 22:14"'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 Kohen.
Lev 22:15The Kohanim shall not profane the holy things of the children of Yisra'el, which they offer to the LORD,
Lev 22:16and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.'"

Flawless Animals for Sacrifice

Lev 22:17The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
Lev 22:18"Speak to Aharon, and to his sons, and to all the children of Yisra'el, and say to them, 'Whoever is of the house of Yisra'el, or of the foreigners in Yisra'el, who offers his offering, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer to the LORD for a burnt offering;
Lev 22:19that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without blemish, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
Lev 22:20But whatever has a blemish, that you shall not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
Lev 22:21Whoever offers a sacrifice of shalom offerings to the LORD to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
Lev 22:22Blind, injured, maimed, having a wart, festering, or having a running sore, you shall not offer these to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the LORD.
Lev 22:23Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
Lev 22:24That which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut, you shall not offer to the LORD; neither shall you do thus in your land.
Lev 22:25Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall you offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them. There is a blemish in them. They shall not be accepted for you.'"
Lev 22:26The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
Lev 22:27"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 the LORD.
Lev 22:28Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
Lev 22:29"When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
Lev 22:30It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am the LORD.
Lev 22:31"Therefore you shall keep my mitzvot, and do them. I am the LORD.
Lev 22:32You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Yisra'el. I am the LORD who makes you holy,
Lev 22:33who brought you out of the land of Mitzrayim, to be your God. I am the LORD."
