Leviticus 22

vayedabber Adonai el-mosheh lemor

GOD spoke to Moses, saying:

dabber el-aharon ve'el-banayw veyinnazeru miqqodshe vene-yisra'el velo yekhallelu et-shem qodshi asher hem maqdishim li ani Adonai

Instruct Aaron and his sons to be scrupulous about the sacred donations that the Israelite people consecrate to Me, lest they profane My holy name, Mine GOD’s.

emor alehem ledorotekhem kol-ish asher-yiqrav mikkol-zarakhem el-haqqodashim asher yaqdishu vene-yisra'el la-Adonai vetumato alayw venikhretah hannefesh hahiv millefanay ani Adonai

Say to them: Throughout the ages, if any man among your offspring, while in a state of impurity, partakes of any sacred donation that the Israelite people may consecrate to GOD, that person shall be cut off from before Me: I am GOD.

ish ish mizzera aharon vehu tsarua o zav baqqodashim lo yokhal ad asher yithar vehannogea bekhol-teme-nefesh o ish asher-tetse mimmennu shikhvat-zara

No man whatsoever among Aaron’s offspring who has an eruption or a discharge shall eat of the sacred donations until he is pure. If one touches anything made impure by a corpse, or if a man has an emission of semen,

o-ish asher yigga bekhol-sherets asher yitma-lo o ve'adam asher yitma-lo lekhol tumato

or if a man touches any swarming thing by which he is made impure or any human being by whom he is made impure—whatever his impurity—

nefesh asher tigga-bo vetame'ah ad-ha'arev velo yokhal min-haqqodashim ki im-rakhats besaro bammayim

the person who touches such shall be impure until evening and shall not eat of the sacred donations unless he has washed his body in water.

uva hashemesh vetaher ve'akhar yokhal min-haqqodashim ki lakhmo hu

As soon as the sun sets, he shall be pure; and afterward he may eat of the sacred donations, for they are his food.

nevelah uterefah lo yokhal letomah-vah ani Adonai

He shall not eat anything that died or was torn by beasts, thereby becoming impure: I am GOD.

veshameru et-mishmarti velo-yisu alayw khet umetu vo ki yekhalleluhu ani Adonai meqaddesham

They shall keep My charge, lest they incur guilt thereby and die for it, having committed profanation: I GOD consecrate them.

vekhol-zar lo-yokhal qodesh toshav kohen vesakhir lo-yokhal qodesh

No lay person shall eat of the sacred donations. No bound or hired laborer of a priest shall eat of the sacred donations;

vekhohen ki-yiqneh nefesh qinyan kaspo hu yokhal bo vilid beto hem yokhelu velakhmo

but a person who is a priest’s property by purchase may eat of them; and those that are born into his household may eat of his food.

uvat-kohen ki tihyeh le'ish zar hiv bitrumat haqqodashim lo tokhel

If a priest’s daughter becomes a layman’s wife, she may not eat of the sacred gifts;

uvat-kohen ki tihyeh almanah ugerushah vezera en lah veshavah el-bet aviha kinureha millekhem aviha tokhel vekhol-zar lo-yokhal bo

but if the priest’s daughter is widowed or divorced and without offspring, and is back in her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s food. No lay person may eat of it—

ve'ish ki-yokhal qodesh bishgagah veyasaf khamishito alayw venatan lakkohen et-haqqodesh

but if someone eats of a sacred donation unwittingly, the priest shall be paid for the sacred donation, adding one-fifth of its value.

velo yekhallelu et-qodshe bene yisra'el et asher-yarimu la-Adonai

But [the priests] must not allow the Israelites to profane the sacred donations that they set aside for GOD,

vehissi'u otam avon ashmah be'okhlam et-qodshehem ki ani Adonai meqaddesham

or to incur guilt requiring a penalty payment, by eating such sacred donations: for it is I GOD who make them sacred.

vayedabber Adonai el-mosheh lemor

GOD spoke to Moses, saying:

dabber el-aharon ve'el-banayw ve'el kol-bene yisra'el ve'amarta alehem ish ish mibbet yisra'el umin-hagger beyisra'el asher yaqriv qorbano lekhol-nidrehem ulekhol-nidvotam asher-yaqrivu la-Adonai le'olah

Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the Israelite people, and say to them: When anyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, presents a burnt offering as their offering for any of the votive or any of the freewill offerings that are offered to GOD,

lirtsonekhem tamim zakhar babbaqar bakkesavim uva'izzim

it must, to be acceptable in your favor, be a male without blemish, from cattle or sheep or goats.

kol asher-bo mum lo taqrivu ki-lo leratson yihyeh lakhem

You shall not offer any that has a defect, for it will not be accepted in your favor.

ve'ish ki-yaqriv zevakh-shelamim la-Adonai lefalle-neder o lindavah babbaqar o vatson tamim yihyeh leratson kol-mum lo yihyeh-bbo

And when anyone offers, from the herd or the flock, a sacrifice of well-being to GOD for an explicit vow or as a freewill offering, it must, to be acceptable, be without blemish; there must be no defect in it.

avveret o shavur o-kharuts o-yabbelet o garav o yallefet lo-taqrivu elleh la-Adonai ve'isheh lo-tittenu mehem al-hammizbeakh la-Adonai

Anything blind, or injured, or maimed, or with a wen, boil-scar, or scurvy—such you shall not offer to GOD; you shall not put any of them on the altar as offerings by fire to GOD.

veshor vaseh sarua veqalut nedavah ta'aseh oto uleneder lo yeratseh

You may, however, present as a freewill offering an ox or a sheep with a limb extended or contracted; but it will not be accepted for a vow.

uma'ukh vekhatut venatuq vekharut lo taqrivu la-Adonai uve'artsekhem lo ta'asu

You shall not offer to GOD anything [with its testes] bruised or crushed or torn or cut. You shall have no such practices in your own land,

umiyyad ben-nekhar lo taqrivu et-lekhem elohekhem mikkol-elleh ki moshkhatam bahem mum bam lo yeratsu lakhem

nor shall you accept such [animals] from a foreigner for offering as food for your God, for they are mutilated, they have a defect; they shall not be accepted in your favor.

vayedabber Adonai el-mosheh lemor

GOD spoke to Moses, saying:

shor o-khesev o-ez ki yivvaled vehayah shivat yamim takhat immo umiyyom hashemini vahale'ah yeratseh leqorban isheh la-Adonai

When an ox or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall stay seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day on it shall be acceptable as an offering by fire to GOD.

veshor o-seh oto ve'et-beno lo tishkhatu beyom ekhad

However, no animal from the herd or from the flock shall be slaughtered on the same day with its young.

vekhi-tizbekhu zevakh-todah la-Adonai lirtsonekhem tizbakhu

When you sacrifice a thanksgiving offering to GOD, sacrifice it so that it may be acceptable in your favor.

bayyom hahu ye'akhel lo-totiru mimmennu ad-boqer ani Adonai

It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall not leave any of it until morning: I am GOD.

ushemartem mitsvotay va'asitem otam ani Adonai

You shall faithfully observe My commandments: I am GOD.

velo tekhallelu et-shem qodshi veniqdashti betokh bene yisra'el ani Adonai meqaddishkhem

You shall not profane My holy name, that I may be sanctified in the midst of the Israelite people—I, GOD, who sanctify you,

hammotsi etkhem me'erets mitsrayim lihyot lakhem lelohim ani Adonai

I who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God, I, the ETERNAL.
