022:003 "Tell them, 'If anyone of all your seed throughout your
generations approaches the holy things, which the children
of Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness
on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me.
I am Yahweh.
022:004 "'Whoever of the seed of Aaron is a leper or has an issue;
he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean.
Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead,
or a man whose seed goes from him;
022:005 or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be
made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness,
whatever uncleanness he has;
022:006 the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening,
and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his
body in water.
022:007 When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall
eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
022:008 That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall
not eat, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.
022:009 "'They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear
sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it.
I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.
022:010 "'No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner
living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat
of the holy thing.
022:011 But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money,
he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house,
they shall eat of his bread.
022:012 If a priest's daughter is married to an outsider, she shall
not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
022:013 But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or divorced,
and has no child, and has returned to her father's house,
as in her youth, she may eat of her father's bread:
but no stranger shall eat any of it.
022:014 "'If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add
the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy
thing to the priest.
022:015 The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children
of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh,
022:016 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt,
when they eat their holy things: for I am Yahweh
who sanctifies them.'"
022:017 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
022:018 "Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children
of Israel, and say to them, 'Whoever is of the house of Israel,
or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering,
whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings,
which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering;
022:019 that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without blemish,
of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
022:020 But whatever has a blemish, that you shall not offer:
for it shall not be acceptable for you.
