22 L'Eterno parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:
2 «Di' ad Aaronne e ai suoi figli che si astengano dalle cose sante a me consacrate dai figli d'Israele e non profanino il mio santo nome. Io sono l'Eterno.
3 Di' loro: "Qualunque uomo della vostra stirpe che nelle future generazioni si avvicinerà in stato di impurità alle cose sante, che i figli d'Israele consacrano all'Eterno, sarà sterminato dalla mia presenza. Io sono l'Eterno.
4 Nessun uomo della stirpe di Aaronne, che sia lebbroso o abbia un flusso, mangerà delle cose sante finché non sia puro. Così pure chi tocca qualsiasi cosa resa impura per contatto con un cadavere, o abbia avuto un'emissione di seme,
5 o chi tocca un rettile che l'ha reso impuro, o un uomo che gli abbia comunicato una impurità di qualsiasi genere,
6 la persona che ha toccato tali cose sarà impura fino alla sera e non mangerà delle cose sante prima di aver lavato il suo corpo nell'acqua;
7 dopo il tramonto del sole sarà pura e potrà poi mangiare delle cose sante, perché sono il suo cibo.
8 Il sacerdote non mangerà carne di bestia morta naturalmente o sbranata, per non rendersi impuro. Io sono l'Eterno.
9 I sacerdoti osserveranno dunque ciò che ho comandato, altrimenti porteranno la pena del loro peccato e moriranno per aver profanato le cose sante. Io sono l'Eterno che li santifico.
10 Nessun estraneo mangerà delle cose sante; né un ospite del sacerdote, né un salariato potrà mangiare le cose sante.
11 Ma se il sacerdote compra una persona con il suo denaro, questa ne potrà mangiare e anche chi è nato in casa sua; questi potranno mangiare del suo cibo.
12 La figlia di un sacerdote maritata a un estraneo non mangerà delle cose sante offerte per elevazione.
13 Ma se la figlia del sacerdote è rimasta vedova, o è stata ripudiata e non ha figli, ed è tornata a stare da suo padre come quando era giovane, potrà mangiare del pane del padre; ma nessun estraneo ne mangerà.
14 Se uno mangia per sbaglio una cosa santa, darà al sacerdote la cosa santa, aggiungendovi un quinto.
15 I sacerdoti non profaneranno dunque le cose sante dei figli d'Israele, che essi offrono per elevazione all'Eterno,
16 e non faranno loro portare la pena del peccato di cui si renderebbero colpevoli, mangiando le loro cose sante; poiché io, l'Eterno, li santifico"».
17 L'Eterno parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:
18 Parla ad Aaronne, ai suoi figli e a tutti i figli d'Israele e di' loro: Chiunque della casa d'Israele o dei forestieri in Israele presenti in olocausto all'Eterno un'offerta per qualsiasi voto o qualsiasi dono volontario;
19 per essere gradito, offrirà un maschio, senza difetto, preso dai buoi, dalle pecore o dalle capre.
20 Non offrirete nulla che abbia un difetto, perché non sarebbe gradito.
21 Quando uno offre all'Eterno un sacrificio di ringraziamento, preso dalla mandria o dal gregge, sia per adempiere un voto, sia come offerta volontaria, la vittima per essere gradita dovrà essere perfetta; non dovrà avere alcun difetto.
22 Non offrirete all'Eterno una vittima cieca o storpia o mutilata, o che abbia ulceri o un eczema o la scabbia; e non ne farete sull'altare un sacrificio col fuoco all'Eterno.
23 Potrai presentare come offerta volontaria un bue o una pecora che abbia un arto troppo lungo o troppo corto; ma come voto non sarebbe gradito.
24 Non offrirete all'Eterno alcun animale con i testicoli ammaccati o schiacciati o strappati o tagliati; di questi sacrifici non ne farete nel vostro paese.
25 Né accetterete dallo straniero alcuna di queste vittime per offrirla come pane del vostro DIO, perché in esse ci sono mutilazioni e difetti; non sarebbero gradite per voi».
26 L'Eterno parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:
27 «Quando nascerà un vitello o un agnello o un capretto, starà sette giorni sotto la madre; dall'ottavo giorno in poi sarà gradito come sacrificio fatto col fuoco all'Eterno.
28 Non scannerete una vacca o una pecora con il suo piccolo nello stesso giorno.
29 Quando offrirete all'Eterno un sacrificio di ringraziamento, offritelo in modo che sia gradito.
30 La vittima sarà mangiata il giorno stesso; non ne lascerete nulla fino al mattino. Io sono l'Eterno.
31 Osserverete dunque i miei comandamenti e li metterete in pratica. Io sono l'Eterno.
32 Non profanerete il mio santo nome, ma sarò santificato in mezzo ai figli d'Israele. Io sono l'Eterno che vi santifico,
33 che vi ha fatto uscire dal paese d'Egitto per essere vostro DIO. Io sono l'Eterno».
Leviticus 22
New International Version
Leviticus 22
New International Version
22 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Tell Aaron and his sons to treat with respect the sacred offerings(A) the Israelites consecrate to me, so they will not profane my holy name.(B) I am the Lord.(C)
3 “Say to them: ‘For the generations to come, if any of your descendants is ceremonially unclean and yet comes near the sacred offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the Lord,(D) that person must be cut off from my presence.(E) I am the Lord.
4 “‘If a descendant of Aaron has a defiling skin disease[a] or a bodily discharge,(F) he may not eat the sacred offerings until he is cleansed. He will also be unclean if he touches something defiled by a corpse(G) or by anyone who has an emission of semen, 5 or if he touches any crawling thing(H) that makes him unclean, or any person(I) who makes him unclean, whatever the uncleanness may be. 6 The one who touches any such thing will be unclean(J) till evening.(K) He must not eat any of the sacred offerings unless he has bathed himself with water.(L) 7 When the sun goes down, he will be clean, and after that he may eat the sacred offerings, for they are his food.(M) 8 He must not eat anything found dead(N) or torn by wild animals,(O) and so become unclean(P) through it. I am the Lord.(Q)
9 “‘The priests are to perform my service(R) in such a way that they do not become guilty(S) and die(T) for treating it with contempt. I am the Lord, who makes them holy.(U)
10 “‘No one outside a priest’s family may eat the sacred offering, nor may the guest of a priest or his hired worker eat it.(V) 11 But if a priest buys a slave with money, or if slaves are born in his household, they may eat his food.(W) 12 If a priest’s daughter marries anyone other than a priest, she may not eat any of the sacred contributions. 13 But if a priest’s daughter becomes a widow or is divorced, yet has no children, and she returns to live in her father’s household as in her youth, she may eat her father’s food. No unauthorized person, however, may eat it.
14 “‘Anyone who eats a sacred offering by mistake(X) must make restitution to the priest for the offering and add a fifth of the value(Y) to it. 15 The priests must not desecrate the sacred offerings(Z) the Israelites present to the Lord(AA) 16 by allowing them to eat(AB) the sacred offerings and so bring upon them guilt(AC) requiring payment.(AD) I am the Lord, who makes them holy.(AE)’”
Unacceptable Sacrifices
17 The Lord said to Moses, 18 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites and say to them: ‘If any of you—whether an Israelite or a foreigner residing in Israel(AF)—presents a gift(AG) for a burnt offering to the Lord, either to fulfill a vow(AH) or as a freewill offering,(AI) 19 you must present a male without defect(AJ) from the cattle, sheep or goats in order that it may be accepted on your behalf.(AK) 20 Do not bring anything with a defect,(AL) because it will not be accepted on your behalf.(AM) 21 When anyone brings from the herd or flock(AN) a fellowship offering(AO) to the Lord to fulfill a special vow or as a freewill offering,(AP) it must be without defect or blemish(AQ) to be acceptable.(AR) 22 Do not offer to the Lord the blind, the injured or the maimed, or anything with warts or festering or running sores. Do not place any of these on the altar as a food offering presented to the Lord. 23 You may, however, present as a freewill offering an ox[b] or a sheep that is deformed or stunted, but it will not be accepted in fulfillment of a vow. 24 You must not offer to the Lord an animal whose testicles are bruised, crushed, torn or cut.(AS) You must not do this in your own land, 25 and you must not accept such animals from the hand of a foreigner and offer them as the food of your God.(AT) They will not be accepted on your behalf, because they are deformed and have defects.(AU)’”
26 The Lord said to Moses, 27 “When a calf, a lamb or a goat(AV) is born, it is to remain with its mother for seven days.(AW) From the eighth day(AX) on, it will be acceptable(AY) as a food offering presented to the Lord. 28 Do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its young on the same day.(AZ)
29 “When you sacrifice a thank offering(BA) to the Lord, sacrifice it in such a way that it will be accepted on your behalf. 30 It must be eaten that same day; leave none of it till morning.(BB) I am the Lord.(BC)
31 “Keep(BD) my commands and follow them.(BE) I am the Lord. 32 Do not profane my holy name,(BF) for I must be acknowledged as holy by the Israelites.(BG) I am the Lord, who made you holy(BH) 33 and who brought you out of Egypt(BI) to be your God.(BJ) I am the Lord.”

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.
