1 Disse o Senhor a Moisés: 2 Dize a Arão e aos seus filhos que se abstenham das coisas sagradas, dedicadas a mim pelos filhos de Israel, para que não profanem o meu santo nome. Eu sou o Senhor. 3 Dize-lhes: Todo homem, que entre as vossas gerações, de toda a vossa descendência, se chegar às coisas sagradas que os filhos de Israel dedicam ao Senhor, tendo sobre si a sua imundícia, aquela alma será eliminada de diante de mim. Eu sou o Senhor. 4 Ninguém da descendência de Arão que for leproso ou tiver fluxo comerá das coisas sagradas, até que seja limpo; como também o que tocar alguma coisa imunda por causa de um morto ou aquele com quem se der a emissão do sêmen; 5 ou qualquer que tocar algum réptil, com o que se faz imundo, ou a algum homem, com o que se faz imundo, seja qual for a sua imundícia. 6 O homem que o tocar será imundo até à tarde e não comerá das coisas sagradas sem primeiro banhar o seu corpo em água. 7 Posto o sol, então, será limpo e, depois, comerá das coisas sagradas, porque isto é o seu pão. 8 Do animal que morre por si mesmo ou é dilacerado não comerá, para, com isso, não contaminar-se. Eu sou o Senhor. 9 Guardarão, pois, a obrigação que têm para comigo, para que, por isso, não levem sobre si pecado e morram, havendo-o profanado. Eu sou o Senhor, que os santifico.

10 Nenhum estrangeiro comerá das coisas sagradas; o hóspede do sacerdote nem o seu jornaleiro comerão das coisas sagradas. 11 Mas, se o sacerdote comprar algum escravo com o seu dinheiro, este comerá delas; os que nascerem na sua casa, estes comerão do seu pão. 12 Quando a filha do sacerdote se casar com estrangeiro, ela não comerá da oferta das coisas sagradas. 13 Mas, se a filha do sacerdote for viúva ou repudiada, e não tiver filhos, e se houver tornado à casa de seu pai, como na sua mocidade, do pão de seu pai comerá; mas nenhum estrangeiro comerá dele. 14 Se alguém, por ignorância, comer a coisa sagrada, ajuntar-se-lhe-á a sua quinta parte e a dará ao sacerdote com a coisa sagrada. 15 Não profanarão as coisas sagradas que os filhos de Israel oferecem ao Senhor, 16 pois assim os fariam levar sobre si a culpa da iniquidade, comendo as coisas sagradas; porque eu sou o Senhor, que os santifico.

17 Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés: 18 Fala a Arão, e a seus filhos, e a todos os filhos de Israel e dize-lhes: Qualquer que, da casa de Israel ou dos estrangeiros em Israel, apresentar a sua oferta, quer em cumprimento de seus votos ou como ofertas voluntárias, que apresentar ao Senhor em holocausto, 19 para que seja aceitável, oferecerá macho sem defeito, ou do gado, ou do rebanho de ovelhas, ou de cabras. 20 Porém todo o que tiver defeito, esse não oferecereis; porque não seria aceito a vosso favor. 21 Quando alguém oferecer sacrifício pacífico ao Senhor, quer em cumprimento de voto ou como oferta voluntária, do gado ou do rebanho, o animal deve ser sem defeito para ser aceitável; nele, não haverá defeito nenhum. 22 O cego, ou aleijado, ou mutilado, ou ulceroso, ou sarnoso, ou cheio de impigens, não os oferecereis ao Senhor e deles não poreis oferta queimada ao Senhor sobre o altar. 23 Porém novilho ou cordeiro desproporcionados poderás oferecer por oferta voluntária, mas, por voto, não será aceito. 24 Não oferecereis ao Senhor animal que tiver os testículos machucados, ou moídos, ou arrancados, ou cortados; nem fareis isso na vossa terra. 25 Também da mão do estrangeiro nenhum desses animais oferecereis como pão do vosso Deus, porque são corrompidos pelo defeito que há neles; não serão aceitos a vosso favor.

26 Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés: 27 Quando nascer o boi, ou cordeiro, ou cabra, sete dias estará com a mãe; do oitavo dia em diante, será aceito por oferta queimada ao Senhor. 28 Ou seja vaca, ou seja ovelha, não imolarás a ela e seu filho, ambos no mesmo dia. 29 Quando oferecerdes sacrifício de louvores ao Senhor, fá-lo-eis para que sejais aceitos. 30 No mesmo dia, será comido; e, dele, nada deixareis ficar até pela manhã. Eu sou o Senhor. 31 Pelo que guardareis os meus mandamentos e os cumprireis. Eu sou o Senhor. 32 Não profanareis o meu santo nome, mas serei santificado no meio dos filhos de Israel. Eu sou o Senhor, que vos santifico, 33 que vos tirei da terra do Egito, para ser o vosso Deus. Eu sou o Senhor.

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they hallow unto me, and that they profane not my holy name: I am Jehovah. 3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed throughout your generations, that approacheth unto 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. 4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him; 5 or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath; 6 the soul that toucheth any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water. 7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread. 8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat, to defile himself therewith: I am Jehovah. 9 They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest’s, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 11 But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread. 12 And if a priest’s daughter be married unto a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things. 13 But if a priest’s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and be returned unto her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s bread: but there shall no stranger eat thereof. 14 And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the priest the holy thing. 15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto Jehovah, 16 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

17 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that offereth his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill-offerings, which they offer unto Jehovah for a burnt-offering; 19 that ye may be accepted, ye shall offer a male without blemish, of the bullocks, of the sheep, or of the goats. 20 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you. 21 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah 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. 22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto Jehovah. 23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath anything superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted. 24 That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer unto Jehovah; neither shall ye do thus in your land. 25 Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye 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.

26 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 27 When 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 the oblation of an offering made by fire unto Jehovah. 28 And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day. 29 And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted. 30 On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am Jehovah. 31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am Jehovah. 32 And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am Jehovah who halloweth you, 33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah.

1 The LORD said to Moses,

2 "Tell Aaron and his sons to treat with respect the sacred offerings the Israelites consecrate to me, so they will not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.

3 "Say to them: 'For the generations to come, if any of your descendants is ceremonially unclean and yet comes near the sacred offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the LORD, that person must be cut off from my presence. I am the LORD.

4 "'If a descendant of Aaron has a defiling skin disease "or a bodily discharge, he may not eat the sacred offerings until he is cleansed. He will also be unclean if he touches something defiled by a corpse or by anyone who has an emission of semen,

5 or if he touches any crawling thing that makes him unclean, or any person who makes him unclean, whatever the uncleanness may be.

6 The one who touches any such thing will be unclean till evening. He must not eat any of the sacred offerings unless he has bathed himself with water.

7 When the sun goes down, he will be clean, and after that he may eat the sacred offerings, for they are his food.

8 He must not eat anything found dead or torn by wild animals, and so become unclean through it. I am the LORD.

9 "'The priests are to perform my service in such a way that they do not become guilty and die for treating it with contempt. I am the LORD, who makes them holy.

10 "'No one outside a priest's family may eat the sacred offering, nor may the guest of a priest or his hired worker eat it.

11 But if a priest buys a slave with money, or if slaves are born in his household, they may eat his food.

12 If a priest's daughter marries anyone other than a priest, she may not eat any of the sacred contributions.

13 But if a priest's daughter becomes a widow or is divorced, yet has no children, and she returns to live in her father's household as in her youth, she may eat her father's food. No unauthorized person, however, may eat it.

14 "'Anyone who eats a sacred offering by mistake must make restitution to the priest for the offering and add a fifth of the value to it.

15 The priests must not desecrate the sacred offerings the Israelites present to the LORD

16 by allowing them to eat the sacred offerings and so bring upon them guilt requiring payment. I am the LORD, who makes them holy.'"

17 The LORD said to Moses,

18 "Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites and say to them: 'If any of you —whether an Israelite or a foreigner residing in Israel —presents a gift for a burnt offering to the LORD, either to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering,

19 you must present a male without defect from the cattle, sheep or goats in order that it may be accepted on your behalf.

20 Do not bring anything with a defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf.

21 When anyone brings from the herd or flock a fellowship offering to the LORD to fulfill a special vow or as a freewill offering, it must be without defect or blemish to be acceptable.

22 Do not offer to the LORD the blind, the injured or the maimed, or anything with warts or festering or running sores. Do not place any of these on the altar as a food offering presented to the LORD.

23 You may, however, present as a freewill offering an ox "or a sheep that is deformed or stunted, but it will not be accepted in fulfillment of a vow.

24 You must not offer to the LORD an animal whose testicles are bruised, crushed, torn or cut. You must not do this in your own land,

25 and you must not accept such animals from the hand of a foreigner and offer them as the food of your God. They will not be accepted on your behalf, because they are deformed and have defects.'"

26 The LORD said to Moses,

27 "When a calf, a lamb or a goat is born, it is to remain with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as a food offering presented to the LORD.

28 Do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its young on the same day.

29 "When you sacrifice a thank offering to the LORD, sacrifice it in such a way that it will be accepted on your behalf.

30 It must be eaten that same day; leave none of it till morning. I am the LORD.

31 "Keep my commands and follow them. I am the LORD.

32 Do not profane my holy name, for I must be acknowledged as holy by the Israelites. I am the LORD, who made you holy

33 and who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD."
