1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.
3 "Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh.
4 "‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission, 5 or whoever touches any creeping thing whereby he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may become unclean, whatever uncleanness he has— 6 the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes his body in water. 7 When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread. 8 He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.
9 "‘They shall therefore follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it and die in it, if they profane it. I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.
10 "‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 11 But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread. 12 If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things. 13 But if a priest’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.
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 priest. 15 The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh, 16 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’"
17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 18 "Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering: 19 that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats. 20 But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you. 21 Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect. 22 You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh. 23 Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted. 24 You must not offer to Yahweh that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land. 25 You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’"
26 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 27 "When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 28 Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29 "When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted. 30 It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Yahweh.
31 "Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am Yahweh. 32 You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy, 33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am Yahweh."
1 Verder het die HERE met Moses gespreek en gesê:
2 Spreek met A„ron en sy seuns dat hulle versigtig moet wees met die heilige gawes van die kinders van Israel wat hulle aan My heilig sodat hulle my heilige Naam nie ontheilig nie. Ek is die HERE.
3 Sê vir hulle: Enigeen in julle geslagte wat uit al julle nakomelinge na die heilige gawes aankom wat die kinders van Israel aan die HERE heilig, terwyl sy onreinheid op hom is, die siel moet uitgeroei word van my aangesig af weg. Ek is die HERE.
4 Niemand uit die nageslag van A„ron wat melaats is of 'n vloeiing het, mag van die heilige gawes eet voordat hy rein is nie. En hy wat aan iemand raak wat deur 'n lyk onrein is, of van wie 'n saadvloeiing uitgaan,
5 of iemand wat aan enige kruipende ongedierte raak, waardeur hy onrein word, of aan 'n mens, deur wie hy onrein word ten gevolge van watter onreinheid ook al
6 die persoon wat aan so iets raak, sal tot die aand toe onrein wees, en hy mag van die heilige gawes nie eet nie tensy dat hy sy liggaam in die water gebad het.
7 Maar as die son onder is, sal hy rein wees; en daarna kan hy van die heilige gawes eet, want dit is sy voedsel.
8 Aas of iets wat verskeur is, mag hy nie eet, sodat hy daardeur nie onrein word nie. Ek is die HERE.
9 Hulle moet dan my ordening onderhou, dat hulle weens die heilige gawes geen sonde op hulle laai en daardeur sterwe nie, omdat hulle dit ontheilig het. Ek is die HERE wat hulle heilig.
10 Ook mag geen onbevoegde eet wat heilig is nie. 'n Bywoner van 'n priester en 'n dagloner mag nie eet wat heilig is nie.
11 Maar as 'n priester iemand met sy geld koop, mag die daarvan eet, en die wat in sy huis gebore is; hulle mag van sy voedsel eet.
12 Maar as die dogter van 'n priester aan 'n vreemde behoort, mag sy van die offergawe van die heilige gawes nie eet nie.
13 Maar as die dogter van 'n priester weduwee is of verstoot word en sy kinderloos is en in die huis van haar vader terugkom soos in haar jeug, dan mag sy van die voedsel van haar vader eet; maar geen onbevoegde mag daarvan eet nie.
14 En as iemand by vergissing iets eet wat heilig is, moet hy die vyfde deel daarvan byvoeg, en so wat heilig is, aan die priester teruggee.
15 So moet hulle dan die heilige gawes wat die kinders van Israel aan die HERE afgee, nie ontheilig
16 en op hulle geen strafbare skuld laai deurdat hulle die heilige gawes sou eet nie; want Ek is die HERE wat hulle heilig.
17 Verder het die HERE met Moses gespreek en gesê:
18 Spreek met A„ron en sy seuns en met al die kinders van Israel en sê vir hulle: Enigeen uit die huis van Israel of uit die vreemdelinge in Israel wat sy offer bring volgens al hulle geloftes en al hulle vrywillige offers wat hulle aan die HERE as brandoffer bring
19 moet dit so bring, dat julle welgevalle vind: 'n dier van die manlike geslag sonder gebrek, van die beeste, die lammers of die bokke.
20 Julle mag nie iets bring waar 'n liggaamsgebrek aan is nie, want dit sal julle nie ten goede kom nie.
21 En as iemand 'n dankoffer aan die HERE offer om 'n besondere gelofte te volbring of as vrywillige offer, van die beeste of die kleinvee, dan moet dit sonder gebrek wees, sodat dit welgevallig kan wees; geen liggaamsgebrek mag daaraan wees nie.
22 Wat blind is of wat gebreekte of verminkte liggaamsdele het of swere of skurfte of uitslag dit moet julle aan die HERE nie bring nie, en daarvan mag julle vir die HERE geen vuuroffer op die altaar lê nie.
23 Maar 'n bees of stuk kleinvee waarvan 'n liggaamsdeel te lank of te kort is, mag jy as vrywillige offer berei; maar as gelofte offer sal dit nie met welgevalle aangeneem word nie.
24 'n Dier wat ontman is deur vrywe of stamp, deur uitskeur of uitsny, mag julle aan die HERE nie bring nie: in julle land mag julle dit nie doen nie,
25 en uit die hand van 'n uitlander mag julle van al hierdie diere aan julle God geen spys bring nie, want hulle verminking is aan hulle, 'n liggaamsgebrek is aan hulle: hulle sal vir julle nie met welgevalle aangeneem word nie.
26 Verder het die HERE met Moses gespreek en gesê:
27 As 'n bees of 'n lam of 'n bok aankom, moet dit sewe dae lank onder sy moeder bly; maar van die agtste dag af en verder sal dit met welgevalle aangeneem word as 'n vuuroffergawe aan die HERE.
28 'n Bees of stuk kleinvee mag julle ook nie saam met sy kleintjie op een dag slag nie.
29 En as julle 'n lofoffer aan die HERE bring, moet julle dit so offer, dat julle welgevalle kan vind.
30 Op dieselfde dag moet dit geëet word. Julle moet daarvan niks laat oorbly tot die môre toe nie. Ek is die HERE.
31 Hou dan my gebooie en doen dit. Ek is die HERE.
32 En ontheilig my heilige Naam nie, sodat Ek geheilig kan word onder die kinders van Israel. Ek is die HERE wat julle heilig,
33 wat julle uit Egipteland uitgelei het om vir julle 'n God te wees. Ek is die HERE.
