And whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has an emission of seed; 5 Or whoever touches any creeping thing, by which he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has; 6 The soul who has touched any such thing shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he washes his flesh with water. 7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and afterward may eat of the holy things; because it is his food. 8 What dies of itself, or is torn by beasts, he shall not eat to defile 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 do sanctify them. 10 No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a temporary resident of the priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 11 But if the priest buys any one with his money, he may eat of it, and he who is born in his house: they may eat of his food. 12 If the priest's daughter also is married to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things. 13 But if the priest's daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father's food: but no stranger shall eat thereof. 14 And if a man eats of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it to the priest with the holy thing. 15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD; 16 Or cause them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them. 17 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, 18 Speak unto Aaron, and his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that offers his offering for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering; 19 You shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the cattle, of the sheep, or of the goats. 20 But whatever has a blemish, you shall not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you. 21 And whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to fulfill his vow, or a freewill offering in cattle or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish in it. 22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a growth, or scurvy, or scabbed, you shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD. 23 Either a bullock or a lamb that has anything superfluous or lacking in its parts, you may offer as a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted. 24 You shall not offer unto the LORD what is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall you make any offering of them in your land. 25 Neither from a stranger's hand shall you offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes are in them: they shall not be accepted for you. 26 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, 27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is born, then it shall be seven days under its mother; and from the eighth day onward it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 28 And whether it be cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and her young both in one day. 29 And when you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will. 30 On the same day it shall be eaten; you shall leave none of it until the morning: I am the LORD. 31 Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD. 32 Neither shall you profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD who sanctifies you, 33 Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
