| 1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, | 1Later on, the LORD told Moses, |
| 2"Tell Aaron and his sons to be careful with the holy gifts of the sons of Israel, which they dedicate to Me, so as not to profane My holy name; I am the LORD. | 2"Tell Aaron and his sons that they are to separate themselves for the sacred things of the Israelis and that they are not to defile my holy name. I am the LORD. |
| 3"Say to them, 'If any man among all your descendants throughout your generations approaches the holy gifts which the sons of Israel dedicate to the LORD, while he has an uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from before Me; I am the LORD. | 3Tell them that whoever among your descendants throughout your generations approaches the sacred things that the Israelis had consecrated to the LORD while still remaining unclean is to be eliminated from my presence. I am the LORD. |
| 4No man of the descendants of Aaron, who is a leper or who has a discharge, may eat of the holy gifts until he is clean. And if one touches anything made unclean by a corpse or if a man has a seminal emission, | 4If one of Aaron's descendants has an infectious skin disease or a discharge, he is not to eat anything sacred until he has been cleansed. Anyone who touches an unclean thing on account of the dead, or who has a seminal discharge, |
| 5or if a man touches any teeming things by which he is made unclean, or any man by whom he is made unclean, whatever his uncleanness; | 5or who becomes unclean by touching a creeping creature or another human being, whatever the uncleanness may be— |
| 6a person who touches any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy gifts unless he has bathed his body in water. | 6such a person who comes in contact with anything like this will become unclean until evening. As a result, he is not to eat the sacred things unless he has bathed himself with water. |
| 7But when the sun sets, he will be clean, and afterward he shall eat of the holy gifts, for it is his food. | 7When the sun has gone down and he has been cleansed, he may eat of the sacred things, since that's his food. |
| 8He shall not eat an animal which dies or is torn by beasts, becoming unclean by it; I am the LORD. | 8He is not to eat the carcass of an animal that was torn by animals, thereby defiling himself with it. I am the LORD. |
| 9'They shall therefore keep My charge, so that they will not bear sin because of it and die thereby because they profane it; I am the LORD who sanctifies them. | 9They are to keep my charge. By doing so, they won't bear the punishment of sin because of it and therefore die if they've been defiled by it. I am the LORD, who sets them apart." |
| 10No layman, however, is to eat the holy gift; a sojourner with the priest or a hired man shall not eat of the holy gift. | 10"No resident alien is to eat anything sacred. Neither the visitor of the priest nor a hired laborer is to eat anything sacred. |
| 11But if a priest buys a slave as his property with his money, that one may eat of it, and those who are born in his house may eat of his food. | 11If a priest acquires a slave as property with his own money, he may eat with him. Those who were born in his house may eat his food. |
| 12If a priest's daughter is married to a layman, she shall not eat of the offering of the gifts. | 12If a priest's daughter marries a resident alien, she is not to eat the sacred raised offerings. |
| 13'But if a priest's daughter becomes a widow or divorced, and has no child and returns to her father's house as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's food; but no layman shall eat of it. | 13If the priest's daughter is a widow, or is divorced and childless, so that she has to return to her father's house as in her younger days, she may eat her father's food, but no resident alien may eat it. |
| 14But if a man eats a holy gift unintentionally, then he shall add to it a fifth of it and shall give the holy gift to the priest. | 14If a person eats anything sacred inadvertently, he is to add a fifth part to it and then give the sacred thing to the priest. |
| 15They shall not profane the holy gifts of the sons of Israel which they offer to the LORD, | 15They are not to defile the sacred things of the Israelis that they have offered to the LORD, |
| 16and so cause them to bear punishment for guilt by eating their holy gifts; for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.'" | 16thereby causing them to bear the punishment of their iniquity for wrongdoing when they eat their sacred things, because I am the LORD, who sets them apart." |
| 17Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, | 17The LORD told Moses, |
| 18"Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the sons of Israel and say to them, 'Any man of the house of Israel or of the aliens in Israel who presents his offering, whether it is any of their votive or any of their freewill offerings, which they present to the LORD for a burnt offering-- | 18"Tell Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelis that when a person from the house of Israel or from the resident aliens living in Israel brings his offering to the LORD as a whole burnt offering (whether in fulfillment of a promise or a free will offerings), |
| 19for you to be accepted-- it must be a male without defect from the cattle, the sheep, or the goats. | 19so that he'll be sure to be accepted, he is to offer a male without defect from the bulls, the lambs, and the goats. |
| 20'Whatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it will not be accepted for you. | 20However, whatever has a defect is not to be offered, because it won't be acceptable for you. |
| 21'When a man offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to fulfill a special vow or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it must be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no defect in it. | 21"If a person brings a peace offering sacrifice to the LORD to fulfill a vow or a free will offering from the herd or the flock, it is to be sound in order to be accepted, without any defect in it. |
| 22Those that are blind or fractured or maimed or having a running sore or eczema or scabs, you shall not offer to the LORD, nor make of them an offering by fire on the altar to the LORD. | 22You are not to bring to the LORD an offering that is blind, fractured, mutilated, or infected with ulcers, scurvy, or scales. You are not to present any of them as an offering made by fire on the altar for the LORD. |
| 23In respect to an ox or a lamb which has an overgrown or stunted member, you may present it for a freewill offering, but for a vow it will not be accepted. | 23"You may offer a bull or lamb that has one limb longer than the other or that is stunted as a free will offering, but it's not acceptable in fulfillment of a promise. |
| 24Also anything with its testicles bruised or crushed or torn or cut, you shall not offer to the LORD, or sacrifice in your land, | 24You are not to bring to the LORD an animal that has been emasculated, crushed, torn, or cut apart. You are not to practice this in your land. |
| 25nor shall you accept any such from the hand of a foreigner for offering as the food of your God; for their corruption is in them, they have a defect, they shall not be accepted for you.'" | 25A resident alien is not to offer as food to your God any of these items, because they are afflicted with ritual corruption due to their defects. They're not acceptable for you." |
| 26Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, | 26The LORD told Moses, |
| 27"When an ox or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day on it shall be accepted as a sacrifice of an offering by fire to the LORD. | 27"Whenever a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it is to remain for seven days under the care of its mother. But on the eighth day onwards, it may be accepted as an offering made by fire to the LORD. |
| 28"But, whether it is an ox or a sheep, you shall not kill both it and its young in one day. | 28However, you are not to slaughter a bull or a ewe along with its offspring on the same day. |
| 29"When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted. | 29When you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, bring it so that it's acceptable for you. |
| 30"It shall be eaten on the same day, you shall leave none of it until morning; I am the LORD. | 30It is to be eaten that same day. You are not to leave any of it until morning. I am the LORD. |
| 31"So you shall keep My commandments, and do them; I am the LORD. | 31"Keep my commands and observe them. I am the LORD. |
| 32"You shall not profane My holy name, but I will be sanctified among the sons of Israel; I am the LORD who sanctifies you, | 32"You are not to defile my sacred name, because I've been set apart in the midst of the Israelis. Furthermore, I am the LORD, who sets you apart— |
| 33who brought you out from the land of Egypt, to be your God; I am the LORD." | 33who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD." |
