Leviticus 22 :: Webster's Bible (WEB)

Lev 22:1And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev 22:2Speak to 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 those things which they hallow to me: I am the LORD.
Lev 22:3Say to them, Whoever he may be of all your seed among your generations, that approacheth the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow to the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.
Lev 22:4Whatever man of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. And whoever toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
Lev 22:5Or whoever toucheth any creeping animal, by which he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he hath:
Lev 22:6The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he shall wash his flesh with water.
Lev 22:7And when the sun is set, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things, because it is his food.
Lev 22:8That which dieth of itself, or is torn by beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself with it: I am the LORD.
Lev 22:9They shall therefore keep my ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
Lev 22:10There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
Lev 22:11But if the priest shall buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.
Lev 22:12If the priest's daughter also shall be married to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
Lev 22:13But if the priest's daughter shall be a widow, or divorced, and shall have no child, and have returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat; but there shall no stranger eat of it.
Lev 22:14And if a man shall eat of the holy thing unknowingly, then he shall put to it the fifth part, and shall give it to the priest, with the holy thing.
Lev 22:15And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel which they offer to the LORD;
Lev 22:16Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.

Flawless Animals for Sacrifice

Lev 22:17And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev 22:18Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, Whoever he may be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his free-will-offerings, which they will offer to the LORD for a burnt-offering:
Lev 22:19Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
Lev 22:20But whatever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
Lev 22:21And whoever offereth a sacrifice of peace-offerings to the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a free-will-offering in beeves, or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted: there shall be in it no blemish.
Lev 22:22Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to the LORD.
Lev 22:23Either a bullock, or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a free-will-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
Lev 22:24Ye shall not offer to the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land.
Lev 22:25Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes are in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
Lev 22:26And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev 22:27When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire to the LORD.
Lev 22:28And whether it is cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
Lev 22:29And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, offer it at your own will.
Lev 22:30On the same day it shall be eaten up, ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD.
Lev 22:31Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
Lev 22:32Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD who hallow you,
Lev 22:33That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
