Priests and Their Food
22 Then[fn] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Tell[fn] Aaron and his sons[fn] that[fn] they must deal respectfully with theIsraelites’[fn] votive offerings, and they must not profane my holy name, which they are consecrating to me; Iam Yahweh.
3 “Say to them, ‘Throughout your generations, any man from any of your offspring who comes near the votive offerings that the Israelites[fn] consecrate to Yahweh with[fn] his uncleanness on him, that person shall be cut off[fn] frombefore me;[fn] Iam Yahweh.
4 “ ‘Anyone[fn] from Aaron’s offspring, if[fn] heis afflicted with a skin disease or a fluid discharge, shall not eat in the sanctuary until[fn] he is clean; and the one who touches any unclean person or a man from whom an emission of semen goes out, 5 or a man who touches any swarmer that is unclean for him or who touches a person who is unclean for him due to[fn] whatever his uncleanness, 6 a person who touches such a thing[fn] shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall not eat from the votive offerings, except[fn]when he washes[fn] his body with water 7 and the sun sets,[fn] and he shall be clean; then[fn] afterward he may eat from the votive offerings, because itis his food. 8 He shall not eat a naturally dead body or[fn] a mangled carcass,so that he becomes unclean[fn] by it; Iam Yahweh.
9 “ ‘And they shall keep my obligation, and they shall not incur guilt because of it, so that[fn] they die through it, because they have profaned it; Iam Yahweh who consecrates them.
10 “ ‘No stranger shall eat[fn]the votive offering; nor shall a temporary resident with[fn] a priest or[fn] a hired worker eatthe votive offering. 11 But[fn] a priest, ifwith his money he buys a person as his possession,[fn] that one may eat it, and the descendants of his house themselves may eat his food. 12 And a priest’s daughter, when she marries a layman,[fn] she herself may not eatthe votive offering.[fn] 13 But[fn] a priest’s daughter, when she becomes a widow or[fn] divorced or there is no offspring for her, and she returns to her father’s house asin her childhood, she may eat from her father’s food, but[fn]no layman may eat it.[fn] 14 And if a man eats the votive offering unintentionally, then[fn] 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’[fn] 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.’ ”
Acceptable Offerings
17 Then[fn] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 18 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israelites,[fn] and say to them, ‘Anyone from the house of Israel or[fn] from the alien in Israel who presents his offering for any of their vows or[fn] 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:[fn] a male among the cattle, among the sheep, or[fn] among the goats. 20 You shall not present any animal in which is a physical defect, because it shall not be acceptable[fn] for you. 21 And if anyone brings a sacrifice of fellowship offerings for Yahweh to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from[fn] the cattle or from[fn] the flock,[fn] it must be without defectto be acceptable;[fn] there must not be any physical defect in it. 22 The blind or the injured or the maimed or the seeping or one with a skin disorder or one with a skin eruption—these you shall not present to Yahweh, nor shall you give from them an offering made by fire on the altar for Yahweh. 23 As for[fn] an ox or sheep that is deformed or[fn] that is stunted, you may present itas a freewill offering, but[fn] for a vow it will not be accepted. 24 And you shall not present anything for Yahweh with bruised or[fn] shattered or[fn] torn or[fn] cut-offtesticles, and you shall not sacrifice[fn]such in your land. 25 And you shall not present your God’s food from any of these by the hand of a foreigner,[fn] because their deformityis in them; a physical defect is in them; they shall not be accepted for you.’ ”
26 Then[fn] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 27 “When an ox or a sheep or a goat is born, then[fn] it shall be under its motherfor seven days, and from the eighth day and beyond it is acceptable as an offering made by fire for Yahweh. 28 And you shall not slaughter an ox or a sheep and its young[fn] onthe same day.[fn] 29 And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you must sacrifice it to be acceptable for you. 30 It must be eaten on that day; you must not leave over anything from it until morning; I am Yahweh.
31 “Thus[fn] you shall keep my commands, and you shall do them; Iam Yahweh.
32 “And you shall not profane my holy name, so that I may be consecrated in the midst of the Israelites;[fn] Iam Yahweh, who consecrates you, 33 the one who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be as God for you; I am Yahweh.”
