Leviticus - Chapter 22 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. And the LORD 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, and that they profane not my holy name {cf15I in those things} which they hallow unto me: I {cf15I am} the LORD.
  • 3. Say unto them, Whosoever {cf15I he be} of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I {cf15I am} the LORD.
  • 4. What man soever of the seed of Aaron {cf15I is} a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing {cf15I that is} unclean {cf15I 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 which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.
  • 7. And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it {cf15I is} his food.
  • 8. That which dieth of itself, or is torn {cf15I with beasts}, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I {cf15I am} the LORD.
  • 9. They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
  • 10. There shall no stranger eat {cf15I of} the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat {cf15I of} the holy thing.
  • 11. But if the priest buy {cf15I any} soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.
  • 12. If the priest's daughter also be {cf15I married} unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
  • 13. But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.
  • 14. And if a man eat {cf15I of} the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth {cf15I part} thereof unto it, and shall give {cf15I it} unto the priest with the holy thing.
  • 15. And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;
  • 16. Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
  • 17. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
  • 18. Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever {cf15I he 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 freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;
  • 19. {cf15I Ye shall offer} at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
  • 20. {cf15I But} whatsoever hath a blemish, {cf15I that} shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
  • 21. And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish {cf15I his} vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, 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 the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.
  • 23. Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer {cf15I for} a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
  • 24. Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make {cf15I any offering thereof} in your land.
  • 25. Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption {cf15I is} in them, {cf15I and} blemishes {cf15I be} in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
  • 26. And the LORD 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 an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
  • 28. And {cf15I whether it be} cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
  • 29. And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer {cf15I it} at your own will.
  • 30. On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I {cf15I am} the LORD.
  • 31. Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I {cf15I am} the LORD.
  • 32. Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I {cf15I am} the LORD which hallow you,
  • 33. That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I {cf15I am} the LORD.
