1. The Lord said to Moses,
|
1. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
2. "Tell Aaron and his sons: 'The people of Israel will give offerings to me. These offerings are holy, and they are mine, so you must respect them to show that you respect my holy name. I am the Lord.'
|
2. Speak H1696 unto H413 Aaron H175 and to H413 his sons H1121 , that they separate themselves H5144 from the holy things H4480 H6944 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and that they profane H2490 not H3808 H853 my holy H6944 name H8034 in those things which H834 they H1992 hallow H6942 unto me: I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
3. Say to them: 'If any one of your descendants from now on is unclean and comes near the offerings that the Israelites made holy for me, that person must be cut off from appearing before me. I am the Lord.
|
3. Say H559 unto H413 them, Whosoever H3605 H376 he be of all H4480 H3605 your seed H2233 among your generations H1755 , that H834 goeth H7126 unto H413 the holy things H6944 , which H834 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 hallow H6942 unto the LORD H3068 , having his uncleanness H2932 upon H5921 him, that H1931 soul H5315 shall be cut off H3772 from my presence H4480 H6440 : I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
4. "'If one of Aaron's descendants has a harmful skin disease, or if he discharges a body fluid, he cannot eat the holy offerings until he becomes clean. He could also become unclean from touching a dead body, from his own semen,
|
4. What man soever H376 H376 of the seed H4480 H2233 of Aaron H175 is a leper H6879 , or H176 hath a running issue H2100 ; he shall not H3808 eat H398 of the holy things H6944 , until H5704 H834 he be clean H2891 . And whoso toucheth H5060 any thing H3605 that is unclean H2931 by the dead H5315 , or H176 a man H376 whose H834 seed H7902 H2233 goeth H3318 from H4480 him;
|
|
5. from touching any unclean crawling animal, or from touching an unclean person (no matter what made the person unclean).
|
5. Or H176 whosoever H376 H834 toucheth H5060 any H3605 creeping thing H8318 , whereby H834 he may be made unclean H2930 , or H176 a man H120 of whom H834 he may take uncleanness H2930 , whatsoever H3605 uncleanness H2932 he hath;
|
|
6. Anyone who touches those things will become unclean until evening. That person must not eat the holy offerings unless he washes with water.
|
6. The soul H5315 which H834 hath touched H5060 any such shall be unclean H2930 until H5704 even H6153 , and shall not H3808 eat H398 of H4480 the holy things H6944 , unless H3588 H518 he wash H7364 his flesh H1320 with water H4325 .
|
|
7. He will be clean only after the sun goes down. Then he may eat the holy offerings; the offerings are his food.
|
7. And when the sun H8121 is down H935 , he shall be clean H2891 , and shall afterward H310 eat H398 of H4480 the holy things H6944 ; because H3588 it H1931 is his food H3899 .
|
|
8. "'If a priest finds an animal that died by itself or that was killed by some other animal, he must not eat it. If he does, he will become unclean. I am the Lord.
|
8. That which dieth of itself H5038 , or is torn H2966 with beasts , he shall not H3808 eat H398 to defile H2930 himself therewith: I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
9. "'If the priests keep all the rules I have given, they will not become guilty; if they are careful, they will not die. I am the Lord who has made them holy.
|
9. They shall therefore keep H8104 H853 mine ordinance H4931 , lest H3808 they bear H5375 sin H2399 for H5921 it , and die H4191 therefore, if H3588 they profane H2490 it: I H589 the LORD H3068 do sanctify H6942 them.
|
|
10. Only people in a priest's family may eat the holy offering. A visitor staying with the priest or a hired worker must not eat it.
|
10. There shall no H3808 H3605 stranger H2114 eat H398 of the holy thing H6944 : a sojourner H8453 of the priest H3548 , or a hired servant H7916 , shall not H3808 eat H398 of the holy thing H6944 .
|
|
11. But if the priest buys a slave with his own money, that slave may eat the holy offerings; slaves who were born in his house may also eat his food.
|
11. But if H3588 the priest H3548 buy H7069 any soul H5315 with his money H7075 H3701 , he H1931 shall eat H398 of it , and he that is born H3211 in his house H1004 : they H1992 shall eat H398 of his meat H3899 .
|
|
12. If a priest's daughter marries a person who is not a priest, she must not eat any of the holy offerings.
|
12. If H3588 the priest H3548 's daughter H1323 also be H1961 married unto a stranger H376 H2114 , she H1931 may not H3808 eat H398 of an offering H8641 of the holy things H6944 .
|
|
13. But if the priest's daughter becomes widowed or divorced, with no children to support her, and if she goes back to her father's house where she lived as a child, she may eat some of her father's food. But only people from a priest's family may eat this food.
|
13. But if H3588 the priest H3548 's daughter H1323 be H1961 a widow H490 , or divorced H1644 , and have no H369 child H2233 , and is returned H7725 unto H413 her father H1 's house H1004 , as in her youth H5271 , she shall eat H398 of her father's meat H4480 H3899 H1 : but there shall no H3605 H3808 stranger H2114 eat H398 thereof.
|
|
14. "'If someone eats some of the holy offering by mistake, that person must pay back the priest for that holy food, adding another one-fifth of the price of that food.
|
14. And if H3588 a man H376 eat H398 of the holy thing H6944 unwittingly H7684 , then he shall put H3254 the fifth H2549 part thereof unto H5921 it , and shall give H5414 it unto the priest H3548 H853 with the holy thing H6944 .
|
|
15. "'When the Israelites give their holy offerings to the Lord, the priest must not treat these holy things as though they were not holy.
|
15. And they shall not H3808 profane H2490 H853 the holy things H6944 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , H853 which H834 they offer H7311 unto the LORD H3068 ;
|
|
16. The priests must not allow those who are not priests to eat the holy offerings. If they do, they cause the ones who eat the holy offerings to become guilty, and they will have to pay for it. I am the Lord, who makes them holy.'"
|
16. Or suffer them to bear H5375 the iniquity H5771 of trespass H819 , when they eat H398 H853 their holy things H6944 : for H3588 I H589 the LORD H3068 do sanctify H6942 them.
|
|
17. The Lord said to Moses,
|
17. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
18. "Tell Aaron and his sons and all the people of Israel: 'A citizen of Israel or a foreigner living in Israel might want to bring a whole burnt offering, either for some special promise he has made or for a special gift he wants to give to the Lord.
|
18. Speak H1696 unto H413 Aaron H175 , and to H413 his sons H1121 , and unto H413 all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and say H559 unto H413 them, Whatsoever H376 H376 he be of the house H4480 H1004 of Israel H3478 , or of H4480 the strangers H1616 in Israel H3478 , that H834 will offer H7126 his oblation H7133 for all H3605 his vows H5088 , and for all H3605 his freewill offerings H5071 , which H834 they will offer H7126 unto the LORD H3068 for a burnt offering H5930 ;
|
|
19. If he does, he must bring a male animal that has nothing wrong with it -- a bull, a sheep, or a goat -- so it might be accepted for him.
|
19. Ye shall offer at your own will H7522 a male H2145 without blemish H8549 , of the beefs H1241 , of the sheep H3775 , or of the goats H5795 .
|
|
20. He must not bring an animal that has something wrong with it, or it will not be accepted for him.
|
20. But whatsoever H3605 H834 hath a blemish H3971 , that shall ye not H3808 offer H7126 : for H3588 it shall not H3808 be H1961 acceptable H7522 for you.
|
|
21. "'If someone brings a fellowship offering to the Lord, either as payment for a special promise the person has made or as a special gift the person wants to give the Lord, it might be from the herd or from the flock. But it must be healthy, with nothing wrong with it, so that it will be accepted.
|
21. And whosoever H376 H3588 offereth H7126 a sacrifice H2077 of peace offerings H8002 unto the LORD H3068 to accomplish H6381 his vow H5088 , or H176 a freewill offering H5071 in beefs H1241 or H176 sheep H6629 , it shall be H1961 perfect H8549 to be accepted H7522 ; there shall be H1961 no H3808 H3605 blemish H3971 therein.
|
|
22. You must not offer to the Lord any animal that is blind, that has broken bones or is crippled, that has running sores or any sort of skin disease. You must not offer any animals like these on the altar as an offering by fire to the Lord.
|
22. Blind H5788 , or H176 broken H7665 , or H176 maimed H2782 , or H176 having a wen H2990 , or H176 scurvy H1618 , or H176 scabbed H3217 , ye shall not H3808 offer H7126 these H428 unto the LORD H3068 , nor H3808 make H5414 an offering by fire H801 of H4480 them upon H5921 the altar H4196 unto the LORD H3068 .
|
|
23. "'If an ox or lamb is smaller than normal or is not perfectly formed, you may give it as a special gift to the Lord; it will be accepted. But it will not be accepted as payment for a special promise you have made.
|
23. Either a bullock H7794 or a lamb H7716 that hath any thing superfluous H8311 or lacking in his parts H7038 , that mayest thou offer H6213 for a freewill offering H5071 ; but for a vow H5088 it shall not H3808 be accepted H7521 .
|
|
24. "'If an animal has bruised, crushed, torn, or cut sex glands, you must not offer it to the Lord. You must not do this in your own land,
|
24. Ye shall not H3808 offer H7126 unto the LORD H3068 that which is bruised H4600 , or crushed H3807 , or broken H5423 , or cut H3772 ; neither H3808 shall ye make H6213 any offering thereof in your land H776 .
|
|
25. and you must not take such animals from foreigners as sacrifices to the Lord. Because the animals have been hurt in some way and have something wrong with them, they will not be accepted for you.'"
|
25. Neither H3808 from a stranger's hand H4480 H3027 H1121 H5236 shall ye offer H7126 H853 the bread H3899 of your God H430 of any H4480 H3605 of these H428 ; because H3588 their corruption H4893 is in them, and blemishes H3971 be in them : they shall not H3808 be accepted H7521 for you.
|
|
26. The Lord said to Moses,
|
26. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
27. "When an ox, a sheep, or a goat is born, it must stay seven days with its mother. But from the eighth day on, this animal will be accepted as a sacrifice by fire to the Lord.
|
27. When H3588 a bullock H7794 , or H176 a sheep H3775 , or H176 a goat H5795 , is brought forth H3205 , then it shall be H1961 seven H7651 days H3117 under H8478 the dam H517 ; and from the eighth day H4480 H3117 H8066 and thenceforth H1973 it shall be accepted H7521 for an offering H7133 made by fire H801 unto the LORD H3068 .
|
|
28. But you must not kill the animal and its mother on the same day, either an ox or a sheep.
|
28. And whether it be cow H7794 or H176 ewe H7716 , ye shall not H3808 kill H7819 it and her young H1121 both in one H259 day H3117 .
|
|
29. "If you want to offer some special offering of thanks to the Lord, you must do it in a way that pleases him.
|
29. And when H3588 ye will offer H2076 a sacrifice H2077 of thanksgiving H8426 unto the LORD H3068 , offer H2076 it at your own will H7522 .
|
|
30. You must eat the whole animal that same day and not leave any of the meat for the next morning. I am the Lord.
|
30. On the same H1931 day H3117 it shall be eaten up H398 ; ye shall leave H3498 none H3808 of H4480 it until H5704 the morrow H1242 : I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
31. "Remember my commands and obey them; I am the Lord.
|
31. Therefore shall ye keep H8104 my commandments H4687 , and do H6213 them: I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
32. Show respect for my holy name. You Israelites must remember that I am holy; I am the Lord, who has made you holy.
|
32. Neither H3808 shall ye profane H2490 H853 my holy H6944 name H8034 ; but I will be hallowed H6942 among H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 : I H589 am the LORD H3068 which hallow H6942 you,
|
|
33. I brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the Lord."
|
33. That brought you out H3318 H853 of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 , to be H1961 your God H430 : I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
