And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 📚“Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and not to profane my holy name in those things which they dedicate to me; I am the LORD.3 📚“Say to them, Anyone among all your offspring throughout your generations who approaches the holy things which the children of Israel dedicate to the LORD, if he has any uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from my presence; I am the LORD.
4 📚“No one of the offspring of Aaron who is a leper 📖, or who has a discharge, shall eat the holy things, until he is clean. And anyone who touches anything that is made unclean by a dead body, or a man who has a seminal emission, 5 📚or anyone who touches any creeping thing which can make him unclean or a man by whom he may become unclean, whatever uncleanness he has, 6 📚the person who touches any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat the holy things, unless he has washed his body in water. 7 📚And when the sun sets, he shall be clean, and afterwards may eat of the holy things; because it is his food. 8 📚He shall not eat that which dies, or is torn by beasts, and so defile himself with it; I am the LORD.
9 📚“Therefore they shall keep my charge, so that they do not become burdened with sin because of it, and so die if they profane it. I the LORD sanctify 📖 them.
10 📚“No foreigner shall eat a holy thing; no one staying with the priest, or a hired servant may eat a holy thing. 11 📚But if the priest buys anyone with his money, that person may eat it; and those who are born in his house may eat his food.
22:11 Otherwise what could he eat?🪶
12 📚Also if a priest’s daughter is married to a foreigner, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things. 13 📚But if the priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, has no child, and has returned to her father’s house, she may eat of her father’s food, as in her youth; but no foreigner is to eat of it.
14 📚“And if a man eats of a holy thing unintentionally, then he shall add a fifth part to it and 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 to the LORD, 16 📚or permit them to be guilty of trespassing in eating their holy things, for I the LORD sanctify them”.
17 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 18 📚“Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: When any of you of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, presents his offering for any vow or for any of his freewill offerings which they offer to the LORD as a burnt offering, 19 📚for you to be accepted you must offer a male without blemish from the cattle, of the sheep, or of the goats. 20 📚But you must not offer anything that has a blemish 📖, for it will not be accepted for you. 21 📚And if anyone offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to fulfil his vow, or as a freewill offering, of cattle or sheep, it must be perfect to be accepted; there is to be no blemish in it. 22 📚You shall not offer these to the LORD: that which is blind or injured or maimed, or having a sore or skin disease or scabs. And do not offer them to the LORD in fire on the altar. 23 📚You may offer either an ox or a lamb that is deformed 📖 or stunted as a freewill offering, but it will not be accepted for a vow. 24 📚You shall not offer to the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; you must not sacrifice it in your land. 25 📚Nor shall you accept any of those from the hand of a foreigner to offer as the food of your God, because they have a deformity in them, and are blemished. They will not be accepted for you”.
22:24-25 That which is called the food of God must be perfect, for it speaks of Christ.🪶
26 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 27 📚“When an ox or a sheep or a goat is born, then it is to be with its mother for seven days, but from the eighth day on it will be accepted as an offering made by fire to the LORD. 28 📚And you shall not kill either a cow or ewe together with its young on the same day.
29 📚“And when you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, offer it so you will be accepted. 30 📚It must be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the next day. I am the LORD.
31 📚“Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am the LORD. 32 📚And you shall not profane my holy name, for I will be sanctified 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”.
