Leviticus 22:11-28 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

11. ‘But when the priest buys a being with his money, he does eat of it. And one who is born in his house does eat his food.

12. ‘And when a priest’s daughter is married to a stranger, she does not eat of the set-apart offerings.

13. ‘But when a priest’s daughter is a widow or put away, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she does eat her father’s food, but no stranger eats of it.

14. ‘And when a man eats the set-apart offering by mistake, then he shall give a set-apart offering to the priest, and add one-fifth to it.

15. ‘And let the priests not profane the set-apart offerings of the children of Yisra’ĕl, which they lift up to יהוה,

16. or allow them to bear the crookedness of trespass when they eat their set-apart offerings. For I am יהוה, who sets them apart.’ ”

17. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

18. “Speak to Aharon and his sons, and to all the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘Any man of the house of Yisra’ĕl, or of the strangers in Yisra’ĕl, who brings his offering for any of his vows or for any of his voluntary offerings, which they bring to יהוה as a burnt offering,

19. for your acceptance, is a male, a perfect one from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats.

20. ‘Whatever has a defect, you do not bring, for it is not acceptable for you.

21. ‘And when a man brings a peace offering to יהוה, to complete a vow, or a voluntary offering from the cattle or the sheep, it is to be perfect to be accepted, let there be no defect in it.

22. ‘Those blind or broken or having a cut, or have an ulcer or eczema or scabs, you do not bring to יהוה, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to יהוה.

23. ‘As for a bull or a lamb that has any limb deformed or dwarfed you do prepare as a voluntary offering, but for a vow it is not accepted.

24. ‘Do not bring to יהוה what is bruised or crushed, or torn or cut, nor do it in your land.

25. ‘And from a son of a stranger’s hand you do not bring any of these as the bread of your Elohim, for their corruption is in them, and defects are in them, they are not acceptable for you.’ ”

26. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

27. “When a bull or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall be seven days with its mother. And from the eighth day and thereafter it is acceptable as an offering made by fire to יהוה.

28. “But do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its young on the same day.
