as she did in her youth. But there shall no stranger eat thereof. If a
man eat of the hallowed things unwittingly, he shall put the fifth part
thereunto, and make good unto the priest the hallowed thing. And let
the priests see, that they defile not the hallowed things of the
children of Israel which they have offered unto the LORD, lest they
lade them selves with misdoing and trespass in eating their hallowed
things, for I am the LORD which hallow them. And the LORD spake unto
Moses saying: speak unto Aaron and his sons and unto all the children
of Israel and say unto them, whatsoever he be of the house of Israel or
stranger in Israel that will offer his offering: whatsoever vow or
freewill offering it be which they will offer unto the LORD for a
burntoffering to reconcile them selves, it must be a male without
blemish of the oxen, sheep or goats, let them offer nothing that is
deformed for they shall get no favour therewith. If a man will offer a
peaceoffering unto the LORD and separate a vow or a freewill offering
of the oxen or the flock, it must be without deformity, that it may be
accepted. There may be no blemish therein: whether it be blind, broken,
wounded or have a wen, or be mangy or scabbed; see that ye offer no
such unto the LORD, nor put an offering of any such upon the altar unto
the LORD. An ox or a sheep that hath any member out of proportion,
mayst thou offer for a freewill offering: but in a vow it shall not be
accepted. Thou shalt not offer unto the LORD that which hath his stones
bruised, broken, plucked out or cut away, neither shalt make any such
in your land, neither of a stranger's hand shall ye offer an offering
to your God of any such. For they mar all in that they have deformities
in them, and therefore can not be accepted for you. And the LORD spake
unto Moses saying: when an ox, a sheep or a goat is brought forth, it
shall be seven days under the dam. And from the eighth day forth, it
shall be accepted unto a gift in the sacrifice of the LORD. And whether
it be ox or sheep, ye shall not kill it, and her young: both in one
day. When ye will offer a thankoffering unto the LORD, ye shall so
offer it that ye may be accepted. And the same day it must be eaten up,
so that ye leave none of it until the morrow. For I am the LORD, keep
now my commandments and do them, for I am the LORD. And pollute not my
holy name, that I may be hallowed among the children of Israel. For I
am the LORD which hallow you, and brought you out of the land of Egypt,
to be your God: for I am the LORD.
