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 LORD16 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 holy33 and who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD."

1 Locutus quoque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens : 2 Loquere ad Aaron et ad filios ejus, ut caveant ab his qu consecrata sunt filiorum Isral, et non contaminent nomen sanctificatorum mihi, qu ipsi offerunt. Ego Dominus. 3 Dic ad eos, et ad posteros eorum : Omnis homo qui accesserit de stirpe vestra ad ea qu consecrata sunt, et qu obtulerunt filii Isral Domino, in quo est immunditia, peribit coram Domino. Ego sum Dominus. 4 Homo de semine Aaron, qui fuerit leprosus, aut patiens fluxum seminis, non vescetur de his qu sanctificata sunt mihi, donec sanetur. Qui tetigerit immundum super mortuo, et ex quo egreditur semen quasi coitus, 5 et qui tangit reptile, et quodlibet immundum cujus tactus est sordidus, 6 immundus erit usque ad vesperum, et non vescetur his qu sanctificata sunt : sed cum laverit carnem suam aqua, 7 et occubuerit sol, tunc mundatus vescetur de sanctificatis, quia cibus illius est. 8 Morticinum et captum a bestia non comedent, nec polluentur in eis. Ego sum Dominus. 9 Custodiant prcepta mea, ut non subjaceant peccato, et moriantur in sanctuario, cum polluerint illud. Ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos. 10 Omnis alienigena non comedet de sanctificatis ; inquilinus sacerdotis et mercenarius non vescentur ex eis. 11 Quem autem sacerdos emerit, et qui vernaculus domus ejus fuerit, his comedent ex eis. 12 Si filia sacerdotis cuilibet ex populo nupta fuerit, de his qu sanctificata sunt, et de primitiis non vescetur. 13 Sin autem vidua, vel repudiata, et absque liberis reversa fuerit ad domum patris sui : sicut puella consueverat, aletur cibis patris sui. Omnis alienigena comedendi ex eis non habet potestatem. 14 Qui comederit de sanctificatis per ignorantiam, addet quintam partem cum eo quod comedit, et dabit sacerdoti in sanctuarium. 15 Nec contaminabunt sanctificata filiorum Isral, qu offerunt Domino : 16 ne forte sustineant iniquitatem delicti sui, cum sanctificata comederint. Ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos.17 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens : 18 Loquere ad Aaron et filios ejus, et ad omnes filios Isral, dicesque ad eos : Homo de domo Isral, et de advenis qui habitant apud vos, qui obtulerit oblationem suam, vel vota solvens, vel sponte offerens, quidquid illud obtulerit in holocaustum Domini, 19 ut offeratur per vos, masculus immaculatus erit ex bobus, et ovibus, et ex capris : 20 si maculam habuerit, non offeretis, neque erit acceptabile. 21 Homo qui obtulerit victimam pacificorum Domino, vel vota solvens, vel sponte offerens, tam de bobus quam de ovibus, immaculatum offeret ut acceptabile sit : omnis macula non erit in eo. 22 Si ccum fuerit, si fractum, si cicatricem habens, si papulas, aut scabiem, aut impetiginem : non offeretis ea Domino, nec adolebitis ex eis super altare Domini. 23 Bovem et ovem, aure et cauda amputatis, voluntarie offerre potes, votum autem ex eis solvi non potest. 24 Omne animal, quod vel contritis, vel tusis, vel sectis ablatisque testiculis est, non offeretis Domino, et in terra vestra hoc omnino ne faciatis. 25 De manu alienigen non offeretis panes Deo vestro, et quidquid aliud dare voluerit, quia corrupta, et maculata sunt omnia : non suscipietis ea. 26 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens : 27 Bos, ovis et capra, cum genita fuerint, septem diebus erunt sub ubere matris su : die autem octavo, et deinceps, offerri poterunt Domino. 28 Sive illa bos, sive ovis, non immolabuntur una die cum ftibus suis. 29 Si immolaveritis hostiam pro gratiarum actione Domino, ut possit esse placabilis, 30 eodem die comedetis eam : non remanebit quidquam in mane alterius diei. Ego Dominus. 31 Custodite mandata mea, et facite ea. Ego Dominus. 32 Ne polluatis nomen meum sanctum, ut sanctificer in medio filiorum Isral. Ego Dominus qui sanctifico vos, 33 et eduxi de terra gypti, ut essem vobis in Deum. Ego Dominus.
