1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

1Later on, the LORD told Moses,

2“Speak to Aaron and his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they do not profane My holy name by what they dedicate to Me: 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.

3Say to them: ‘Whoever of all your descendants throughout your generations, who goes near the holy things which the children of Israel dedicate to the LORD, while he has uncleanness upon him, that person shall be cut off from My presence: 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.

4‘Whatever man of the descendants of Aaron, who is a leper or has a discharge, shall not eat the holy offerings until he is clean. And whoever touches anything made unclean by a corpse, or a man who has had an emission of semen,

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 whoever touches any creeping thing by which he would be made unclean, or any person by whom he would become unclean, whatever his uncleanness may be—

5or who becomes unclean by touching a creeping creature or another human being, whatever the uncleanness may be—

6the person who has touched any such thing shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat the holy offerings unless he washes his body with 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.

7And when the sun goes down he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat the holy offerings, because 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.

8Whatever dies naturally or is torn by beasts he shall not eat, to defile himself with 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 ordinance, lest they bear sin for it and die thereby, if they profane it: I the LORD sanctify 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."

10‘No outsider shall eat the holy offering; one who dwells with the priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat the holy thing.

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 the priest buys a person with his money, he may eat it; and one who is born in his house may eat 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 the priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she may not eat of the holy offerings.

12If a priest's daughter marries a resident alien, she is not to eat the sacred raised offerings.

13But if the 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 her father’s food; but no outsider shall eat 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.

14‘And if a man eats the holy offering unintentionally, then he shall restore a holy offering to the priest, and add one-fifth to it.

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 offerings of the children 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,

16or allow them to bear the guilt of trespass when they eat their holy offerings; for I the LORD sanctify 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."

17And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

17The LORD told Moses,

18“Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘Whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, who offers his sacrifice for any of his vows or for any of his freewill offerings, which they offer to the LORD as 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),

19you shall offer of your own free will a male without blemish from the cattle, from the sheep, or from 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.

20Whatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable on your behalf.

20However, whatever has a defect is not to be offered, because it won't be acceptable for you.

21And whoever offers a sacrifice of a peace offering to the LORD, to fulfill his vow, or a freewill offering from the cattle or the sheep, 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 broken or maimed, or have an ulcer or eczema or scabs, you shall not offer to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them 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.

23Either a bull or a lamb that has any limb too long or too short you may offer as a freewill offering, but for a vow it shall 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.

24‘You shall not offer to the LORD what is bruised or crushed, or torn or cut; nor shall you make any offering of them 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 from a foreigner’s hand shall you offer any of these as the bread of your God, because their corruption is in them, and defects are in them. They shall not be accepted on your behalf.’ ”

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."

26And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

26The LORD told Moses,

27“When a bull or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall be seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and thereafter it shall be accepted as an offering made 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.

28Whether it is a cow or ewe, do not kill both her and her young on the same day.

28However, you are not to slaughter a bull or a ewe along with its offspring on the same day.

29And when you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, offer it of your own free will.

29When you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, bring it so that it's acceptable for you.

30On the same day it shall be eaten; 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“Therefore you shall keep My commandments, and perform them: I am the LORD.

31"Keep my commands and observe them. I am the LORD.

32You shall not profane My holy name, but I will be hallowed among the children 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 of 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."
