And whoever toucheth any thing [that is] unclean [by] the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him; 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: 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. 7And when the sun is set, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things, because it [is] his food. 8That which dieth of itself, or is torn [by beasts], he shall not eat to defile himself with it: I [am] the LORD. 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. 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. 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. 12If the priest's daughter also shall be [married] to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things. 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. 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. 15And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel which they offer to the LORD; 16Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them. 17And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 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: 19[Ye shall offer] at your own will a male without blemish of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats. 20[But] whatever hath a blemish, [that] shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 26And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 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. 28And [whether it is] cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day. 29And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, offer it at your own will. 30On the same day it shall be eaten up, ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I [am] the LORD. 31Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I [am] the LORD. 32Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I [am] the LORD who hallow you, 33That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the LORD. ‹Previous chapterLeviticus 21Next chapterLeviticus 23›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsLeviticus 22 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
