New Testament

Leviticus 22:13-21 English Standard Version (ESV)

13. But if a priest’s daughter is widowed or divorced and has no child and returns to her father’s house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s food; yet no lay person shall eat of it.

14. And if anyone eats of a holy thing unintentionally, he shall add the fifth of its value to it and give the holy thing to the priest.

15. They shall not profane the holy things of the people of Israel, which they contribute to the Lord,

16. and so cause them to bear iniquity and guilt, by eating their holy things: for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.”

17. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

18. “Speak to Aaron and his sons and all the people of Israel and say to them, When any one of the house of Israel or of the sojourners in Israel presents a burnt offering as his offering, for any of their vows or freewill offerings that they offer to the Lord,

19. if it is to be accepted for you it shall be a male without blemish, of the bulls or the sheep or the goats.

20. You shall not offer anything that has a blemish, for it will not be acceptable for you.

21. And when anyone offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from the herd or from the flock, to be accepted it must be perfect; there shall be no blemish in it.
