Leviticus 22:12-20 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

12. And a priest’s daughter, when she marries a layman, she herself may not eat the votive offering.

13. But a priest’s daughter, when she becomes a widow or divorced or there is no offspring for her, and she returns to her father’s house as in her childhood, she may eat from her father’s food, but no layman may eat it.

14. And if a man eats the votive offering unintentionally, then he shall add to it a fifth of it, and he shall give the votive offering to the priest.

15. And they shall not profane the Israelites’ votive offerings that they present to Yahweh,

16. and so cause them, by their eating their votive offerings, to bear guilt requiring a guilt offering, because I am Yahweh, who consecrates them.’ ”

17. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

18. “Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israelites, and say to them, ‘Anyone from the house of Israel or from the alien in Israel who presents his offering for any of their vows or for any of their freewill offerings that they present to Yahweh as a burnt offering,

19. it must be without defect to be acceptable for you: a male among the cattle, among the sheep, or among the goats.

20. You shall not present any animal in which is a physical defect, because it shall not be acceptable for you.
