22:5. And he that toucheth a creeping thing, or any unclean thing, the
touching of which is defiling:
22:6. Shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat those things
that are sanctified. But when he hath washed his flesh with water,
22:7. And the sun is down, then being purified, he shall eat of the
sanctified things, because it is his meat.
22:8. That which dieth of itself, and that which was taken by a beast,
they shall not eat, nor be defiled therewith. I am the Lord.
22:9. Let them keep my precepts, that they may not fall into sin, and
die in the sanctuary, when they shall have defiled it. I am the Lord who
sanctify them.

born in his house, these shall eat of them.

add the fifth part with that which he ate, and shall give it to the
priest into the sanctuary.
22:15. And they shall not profane the sanctified things of the children
of Israel, which they offer to the Lord:

shall have eaten the sanctified things. I am the Lord who sanctify them.

paying his vows, or offering of his own accord, whatsoever it be which

22:19. To be offered by you: it shall be a male without blemish of the
beeves, or of the sheep, or of the goats.

acceptable.

or of sheep, shall offer it without blemish, that it may be acceptable.
There shall be no blemish in it.
22:22. If it be blind, or broken, or have a scar or blisters, or a scab,
or a dry scurf: you shall not offer them to the Lord, nor burn any thing
of them upon the Lord's altar.

mayst offer voluntarily: but a vow may not be paid with them.
22:24. you shall not offer to the Lord any beast that hath the testicles
bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away: neither shall you do any
such things in your land.
