Leviticus 22:17-33
1599 Geneva Bible
17 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his sacrifice for all their vows, and for all their free offerings, which they use to offer unto the Lord for a burnt offering,
19 Ye shall offer of your free mind a male without blemish of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 Ye shall not offer anything that hath a blemish: for that shall not be acceptable for you.
21 (A)And whosoever bringeth a peace offering unto the Lord to accomplish his vow, or for a free offering of the beeves, or of the sheep, his free offering shall be perfect, no blemish shall be in it.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a [a]wen, or scurvy, or scabbed: these shall ye not offer unto the Lord, nor make an offering by fire of these upon the Altar of the Lord.
23 Yet a bullock, or a sheep that hath any (B)member superfluous, or lacking, such mayest thou present for a free 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 away, neither shall ye make an offering thereof in your land,
25 Neither [b]of the hand of a stranger shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these, because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: therefore shall they not be accepted for you.
26 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat shall be brought forth, it shall be even seven days under his dam: and from the eighth day forth it shall be accepted for a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord.
28 As for the cow or the ewe, ye shall not (C)kill her, and her young both in one day.
29 So when ye will offer a thank offering unto the Lord, ye shall offer willingly.
30 The same day shall it be eaten, ye shall leave (D)none of it to the morrow: I am the Lord.
31 Therefore shall ye keep my Commandments and do them: for I am the Lord.
32 Neither shall ye [c]pollute my holy Name, but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel. I the Lord sanctify you,
33 Which have brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord.
