1Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,[#Or “And”]
2“Tell Aaron and his sons that they must deal respectfully with the Israelites’ votive offerings, and they must not profane my holy name, which they are consecrating to me; I am Yahweh.[#Or “Speak to”; #Literally “to Aaron and to his sons”; #Or “and”; #Literally “sons/children of Israel”]
3“Say to them, ‘Throughout your generations, any man from any of your offspring who comes near the votive offerings that the Israelites consecrate to Yahweh with his uncleanness on him, that person shall be cut off from before me; I am Yahweh.[#Literally “sons/children of Israel”; #Or “and”; #Or “and that person shall be cut off”; #Literally “to the faces of me”]
4“ ‘Anyone from Aaron’s offspring, if he is afflicted with a skin disease or a fluid discharge, shall not eat in the sanctuary until he is clean; and the one who touches any unclean person or a man from whom an emission of semen goes out,[#Literally “A man a man”; #Or “and”; #Literally “until which”]
5or a man who touches any swarmer that is unclean for him or who touches a person who is unclean for him due to whatever his uncleanness,[#Literally “for”]
6a person who touches such a thing shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall not eat from the votive offerings, except when he washes his body with water[#Hebrew “him” or “it”; #Or “but if” or “but rather”; #Or “bathes”]
7and the sun sets, and he shall be clean; then afterward he may eat from the votive offerings, because it is his food.[#Literally “the sun goes” or “the sun enters”; #Or “and”]
8He shall not eat a naturally dead body or a mangled carcass, so that he becomes unclean by it; I am Yahweh.[#Or “and”; #Literally “to become unclean”]
9“ ‘And they shall keep my obligation, and they shall not incur guilt because of it, so that they die through it, because they have profaned it; I am Yahweh who consecrates them.[#Or “and”]
10“ ‘No stranger shall eat the votive offering; nor shall a temporary resident with a priest or a hired worker eat the votive offering.[#Literally “And any stranger shall not eat”; #Hebrew “of”; #Or “and”]
11But a priest, if with his money he buys a person as his possession, that one may eat it, and the descendants of his house themselves may eat his food.[#Or “And”; #Literally “property of”]
12And a priest’s daughter, when she marries a layman, she herself may not eat the votive offering.[#Literally “she becomes for a strange man”; #Literally “the offering/lifting of the votive offering”]
13But a priest’s daughter, when she becomes a widow or divorced or there is no offspring for her, and she returns to her father’s house as in her childhood, she may eat from her father’s food, but no layman may eat it.[#Or “And”; #Or “and”; #Or “and”; #Literally “any stranger shall not eat it”]
14And if a man eats the votive offering unintentionally, then he shall add to it a fifth of it, and he shall give the votive offering to the priest.[#Or “and”]
15And they shall not profane the Israelites’ votive offerings that they present to Yahweh,[#Literally “sons/children of Israel”]
16and so cause them, by their eating their votive offerings, to bear guilt requiring a guilt offering, because I am Yahweh, who consecrates them.’ ”
17Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,[#Or “And”]
18“Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israelites, and say to them, ‘Anyone from the house of Israel or from the alien in Israel who presents his offering for any of their vows or for any of their freewill offerings that they present to Yahweh as a burnt offering,[#Literally “sons/children of Israel”; #Or “and”; #Or “and”]
19it must be without defect to be acceptable for you: a male among the cattle, among the sheep, or among the goats.[#Literally “for your acceptance”; #Or “and”]
20You shall not present any animal in which is a physical defect, because it shall not be acceptable for you.[#Literally “for acceptance”]
21And if anyone brings a sacrifice of fellowship offerings for Yahweh to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from the cattle or from the flock, it must be without defect to be acceptable; there must not be any physical defect in it.[#Or “among”; #Or “among”; #The Hebrew term refers collectively to both sheep and goats (small livestock animals); #Literally “for acceptance”]
22The blind or the injured or the maimed or the seeping or one with a skin disorder or one with a skin eruption—these you shall not present to Yahweh, nor shall you give from them an offering made by fire on the altar for Yahweh.
23As for an ox or sheep that is deformed or that is stunted, you may present it as a freewill offering, but for a vow it will not be accepted.[#Or “And”; #Or “and”; #Or “and”]
24And you shall not present anything for Yahweh with bruised or shattered or torn or cut-off testicles, and you shall not sacrifice such in your land.[#Or “and”; #Or “and”; #Or “and”; #Literally “do” or “make”]
25And you shall not present your God’s food from any of these by the hand of a foreigner, because their deformity is in them; a physical defect is in them; they shall not be accepted for you.’ ”[#Literally “a son of a foreign land”]
26Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,[#Or “And”]
27“When an ox or a sheep or a goat is born, then it shall be under its mother for seven days, and from the eighth day and beyond it is acceptable as an offering made by fire for Yahweh.[#Or “and”]
28And you shall not slaughter an ox or a sheep and its young on the same day.[#Literally “his son” or “his child”; #Literally “on day one” or “in one day”]
29And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you must sacrifice it to be acceptable for you.
30It must be eaten on that day; you must not leave over anything from it until morning; I am Yahweh.
31“Thus you shall keep my commands, and you shall do them; I am Yahweh.[#Or “And”]
32“And you shall not profane my holy name, so that I may be consecrated in the midst of the Israelites; I am Yahweh, who consecrates you,[#Literally “sons/children of Israel”]
33the one who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be as God for you; I am Yahweh.”
