利未記 22
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
吃聖物的條例
22 耶和華對摩西說： 2 「你告訴亞倫父子們要謹慎處理以色列人獻給我的聖物，免得褻瀆我的聖名。我是耶和華。 3 把以下條例告訴他們。
「你們的後代中，如果有人不潔淨，卻接近以色列人獻給我的聖物，必須把他從我面前剷除。我是耶和華。 4 亞倫的後代中若有人患了痲瘋病或漏症，在他潔淨之前，不可吃聖物。如果有人遺精，或碰到因接觸屍體而不潔淨之物， 5 或碰到不潔淨的爬蟲，或碰到不潔淨的人， 6 這人就不潔淨，要到傍晚之後才能潔淨。他要沐浴後才可吃聖物。 7 日落之後，他就潔淨了，可以吃聖物，因為那是他應得的食物。 8 他不可吃自然死亡或被野獸撕裂的動物，否則就不潔淨。我是耶和華。 9 他們要遵守我的命令，免得他們犯罪，因違背我的命令而死亡。我是使他們聖潔的耶和華。
10 「只有祭司一家可以吃聖物，在祭司家中寄居的或做雇工的都不可吃， 11 但出生在祭司家裡或用錢買來的奴隸都可以吃。 12 如果祭司的女兒嫁給本族以外的人，她便不可再吃舉祭。 13 如果祭司的女兒守寡或被休，無兒無女，又像年輕時回到父親家居住，便可以吃父親的食物。除此以外，不屬於祭司家的人都不可以吃。 14 任何人如果誤吃聖物，就要如數償還給祭司，並加賠五分之一。 15 祭司不可褻瀆以色列民眾獻給耶和華的聖物， 16 以免有人因擅自吃聖物而擔罪、受罰。我是使聖物聖潔的耶和華。」
選擇祭牲的條例
17 耶和華對摩西說： 18 「你把以下條例告訴亞倫父子們及所有以色列人。
「任何以色列人或寄居在以色列的外族人若向耶和華獻燔祭，無論是為了還願還是出於自願， 19 都必須獻毫無殘疾的公牛、公綿羊或公山羊才能蒙悅納。 20 不可獻有殘疾的，因為不蒙悅納。 21 如果有人為了還願或自願獻牛羊作平安祭，必須獻毫無殘疾的牛羊才能蒙悅納。 22 不可獻給耶和華瞎眼的、骨折的、殘廢的、長疥癬的牲畜，也不可把這些牲畜獻給耶和華作火祭。 23 至於畸形或發育不全的公牛或綿羊羔，可以用作自願獻的祭，但不可用作還願祭。 24 不可獻給耶和華睪丸受損、被壓碎、破裂或被閹割的牲畜。在你們境內不可做這樣的事， 25 也不可從外族人手中接受這些牲畜並獻給你們的上帝作食物。因為這些牲畜是畸形的、殘疾的，不蒙悅納。」
26 耶和華對摩西說： 27 「剛出生的牛、綿羊或山羊，前七天要與母親在一起。從第八天起，可以把牠們獻給我作火祭。 28 不可在同一天內宰殺母牛和小牛或母羊和小羊。 29 你們獻感恩祭給耶和華時，要使你們所獻的蒙悅納。 30 要當天吃完祭物，不可留到第二天早晨。我是耶和華。 31 你們要遵行我的一切誡命。我是耶和華。 32 不可褻瀆我的聖名，我要在以色列人中彰顯我的聖潔，我是使你們聖潔的耶和華。 33 我領你們離開埃及，為要做你們的上帝。我是耶和華。」
Leviticus 22
King James Version
22 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am the Lord.
3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the Lord.
4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
6 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.
7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.
8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith; I am the Lord.
9 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the Lord do sanctify them.
10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11 But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.
12 If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
13 But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there shall be no stranger eat thereof.
14 And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto 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 suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the Lord do sanctify them.
17 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the Lord for a burnt offering;
19 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye 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 hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24 Ye shall not offer unto the Lord that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land.
25 Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
26 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
28 And whether it be cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord, offer it at your own will.
30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the Lord.
31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the Lord.
32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the Lord which hallow you,
33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord.

The Holiness of the Offerings
22 The Lord commanded Moses 2 to tell Aaron and his sons, “You must not bring disgrace on my holy name, so treat with respect the sacred offerings that the people of Israel dedicate to me. I am the Lord. 3 If any of your descendants, while he is ritually unclean, comes near the sacred offerings which the people of Israel have dedicated to me, he can never again serve at the altar. This applies for all time to come. I am the Lord.
4 “None of the descendants of Aaron who has a dreaded skin disease or a discharge may eat any of the sacred offerings until he is ritually clean. Any priest is unclean if he touches anything which is unclean through contact with a corpse or if he has an emission of semen 5 or if he has touched an unclean animal or person. 6 Any priest who becomes unclean remains unclean until evening, and even then he may not eat any of the sacred offerings until he has taken a bath. 7 After the sun sets he is clean, and then he may eat the sacred offerings, which are his food. 8 He shall not eat the meat of any animal that has died a natural death or has been killed by wild animals; it will make him unclean. I am the Lord.
9 “All priests shall observe the regulations that I have given. Otherwise, they will become guilty and die, because they have disobeyed the sacred regulations. I am the Lord and I make them holy.
10 “Only a member of a priestly family may eat any of the sacred offerings; no one else may eat them—not even someone staying with a priest or hired by him. 11 But a priest's slaves, bought with his own money or born in his home, may eat the food the priest receives. 12 A priest's daughter who marries someone who is not a priest may not eat any of the sacred offerings. 13 But a widowed or divorced daughter who has no children and who has returned to live in her father's house as a dependent may eat the food her father receives as a priest. Only a member of a priestly family may eat any of it.
14 “If any people who are not members of a priestly family eat any of the sacred offerings without intending to, they must repay the priest its full value plus an additional 20 percent. 15 The priests shall not profane the sacred offerings 16 by letting any unauthorized people eat them; this would bring guilt and punishment on such people. I am the Lord and I make the offerings holy.”
17 The Lord commanded Moses 18 to give Aaron and his sons and all the people of Israel the following regulations. When any Israelite or any foreigner living in Israel presents a burnt offering, whether as fulfillment of a vow or as a freewill offering, the animal must not have any defects. 19 To be accepted, it must be a male without any defects. 20 (A)If you offer any animal that has any defects, the Lord will not accept it. 21 When anyone presents a fellowship offering to the Lord, whether as fulfillment of a vow or as a freewill offering, the animal must be without any defects if it is to be accepted. 22 Do not offer to the Lord any animal that is blind or crippled or mutilated, or that has a running sore or a skin eruption or scabs. Do not offer any such animals on the altar as a food offering. 23 As a freewill offering you may offer an animal that is stunted or not perfectly formed, but it is not acceptable in fulfillment of a vow. 24 Do not offer to the Lord any animal whose testicles have been crushed, cut, bruised, or torn off. This is not permitted in your land.
25 Do not offer as a food offering any animal obtained from a foreigner. Such animals are considered defective and are not acceptable.
26-27 When a calf or a lamb or a kid is born, it must not be taken from its mother for seven days, but after that it is acceptable as a food offering. 28 Do not sacrifice a cow and its calf or a sheep and its lamb or a goat and its kid on the same day. 29 When you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, follow the rules so that you will be accepted; 30 eat it the same day and leave none of it until the next morning.
31 The Lord said, “Obey my commands; I am the Lord. 32 Do not bring disgrace on my holy name; all the people of Israel must acknowledge me to be holy. I am the Lord and I make you holy; 33 and I brought you out of Egypt to become your God. I am the Lord.”
