Leviticus 22:13 — Leviticus 23:3

13 But if a priest’s daughter becomes a widow or divorced and has no child, and she returns to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s food; but no stranger may eat of it.

14 And if a man eats the holy thing in ignorance, then he shall add one-fifth of its value to it and shall give the holy thing to the priest.

15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel that they offer to Jehovah,

16 And so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.

17 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

18 Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, When anyone of the house of Israel or of the sojourners in Israel who presents his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their freewill offerings which they present to Jehovah for a burnt offering;

19 It shall be a male without blemish from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats, for you to be accepted.

20 But whatever has a blemish, you shall not present, for it will not be acceptable for you.

21 And whoever presents a sacrifice of peace offerings to Jehovah to make a special vow or for a freewill offering, from the herd or from the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish in it.

22 You shall not present these to Jehovah: anything blind or injured or maimed or having a suppuration or eczema or scale; nor shall you make an offering by fire from them on the altar to Jehovah.

23 An ox or a lamb that has anything superfluous or lacking in its parts, that you may offer for a freewill offering; but it shall not be accepted for a vow.

24 And anything with its testicles bruised or crushed or broken or cut, you shall not present to Jehovah; you shall not do this in your land.

25 And from the hand of a foreigner you shall not present the food of your God from any of these, because their corruption is in them. There is a blemish in them; they shall not be accepted for you.

26 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

27 When an ox or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and onward it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering by fire to Jehovah.

28 But whether cow or sheep, you shall not slaughter both it and its young on one day.

29 And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

30 On the same day it shall be eaten; you shall leave none of it until the morning; I am Jehovah.

31 Therefore you shall keep My commandments and do them; I am Jehovah.

32 And you shall not profane My holy name, but I will be sanctified among the children of Israel; I am Jehovah who sanctifies you,

33 Who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God; I am Jehovah.

CHAPTER 23

1 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, As to the appointed feasts of Jehovah, which you shall proclaim as holy convocations, these are My appointed feasts.

3 Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day there is a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work; it is a Sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwelling places.

Leviticus 21:16 — Leviticus 22:12

16 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

17 Speak to Aaron, saying, No one of your seed throughout their generations who has a defect shall approach to present the food of his God.

18 For no one who has a defect shall approach: one who is blind or lame or with a disfigured nose or with an extended limb,

19 Or one who has a broken foot or a broken hand,

20 Or a hunchback or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye or eczema or scale or crushed testicles.

21 No one of the seed of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall come near to present Jehovah’s offerings by fire. He has a defect; he shall not come near to present the food of his God.

22 He may eat the food of his God, both of the most holy and of the holy,

23 But he shall not go in unto the veil or come near to the altar, because he has a defect, so that he does not profane My holy places; for I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.

24 So Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel.

CHAPTER 22

1 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Tell Aaron and his sons to be careful with the holy things of the children of Israel, which they sanctify to Me, so that they do not profane My holy name; I am Jehovah.

3 Say to them, If anyone among all your seed throughout your generations who approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel sanctify to Jehovah, and his uncleanness is upon him, that person shall be cut off from before Me; I am Jehovah.

4 No one of the seed of Aaron who is a leper or who has a discharge may eat of the holy things until he is clean. And whoever touches anything that is unclean because of contact with a dead person, or a man whose seed of copulation has gone from him,

5 Or whoever touches any creeping thing by which he may be made unclean, or a man by whom he may be made unclean, whatever his uncleanness,

6 The person who touches any such thing shall be unclean until the evening and shall not eat of the holy things unless he has bathed his body in water.

7 And when the sun sets, he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat of the holy things, because it is his food.

8 He shall not eat an animal which has died or is torn by beasts to become unclean by it; I am Jehovah.

9 They shall therefore keep My charge, so that they do not bring sin upon themselves because of it and die by it because they profane it; I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.

10 No stranger may eat any holy thing; a sojourner with a priest or a hired servant shall not eat any holy thing.

11 But if a priest acquires anyone through a purchase with his money, that one may eat of it; and those who are born in his house may eat of his food.

12 And if a priest’s daughter is married to a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.

Leviticus 20:24 — Leviticus 21:15

24 But I have said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am Jehovah your God, who has separated you from the peoples.

25 You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean bird and the clean, and you shall not make your souls abominable by any beast or by any bird or by anything that creeps on the ground, which I have separated for you as unclean.

26 And you shall be holy to Me, because I Jehovah am holy, and I have set you apart from the peoples to be Mine.

27 If there is a man or a woman who is a medium or a spiritist, they shall surely be put to death. They shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.

CHAPTER 21

1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, No one shall defile himself for a dead person among his people,

2 Except for his flesh who is near to him, for his mother and for his father and for his son and for his daughter and for his brother

3 And for his virgin sister, who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.

4 He shall not defile himself, as a leader among his people, so as to profane himself.

5 They shall not make any baldness on their head or shave off the edges of their beard or make any cuttings in their flesh.

6 They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God, for they present Jehovah’s offerings by fire, the food of their God; therefore they shall be holy.

7 They shall not take a woman who is a harlot or profaned, nor shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for the priest is holy to his God.

8 You shall sanctify him therefore, for he presents the food of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I Jehovah, who sanctifies you, am holy.

9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself through prostitution, she profanes her father; she shall be burnt with fire.

10 And he who is the high priest among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil has been poured and who has filled his hands to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head go loose nor tear his clothes.

11 Neither shall he approach any dead person nor defile himself even for his father or for his mother.

12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary nor profane the sanctuary of his God, for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him; I am Jehovah.

13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

14 A widow or a divorced woman or a profaned woman, a harlot, these he shall not take; but rather a virgin of his own people he shall take as wife.

15 And he shall not profane his seed among his people, for I am Jehovah who sanctifies him.

Leviticus 20:6 — Leviticus 20:23

6 And the person who turns to mediums and to spiritists to prostitute himself after them, I will even set My face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.

7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Jehovah your God.

8 And you shall keep My statutes and do them; I am Jehovah who sanctifies you.

9 If there is anyone who curses his father or his mother, he shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother; his blood is upon him.

10 If there is a man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even one who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

11 If there is a man who lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

12 If there is a man who lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have brought about confusion; their blood shall be upon them.

13 If there is a man who lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

14 If there is a man who takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burnt with fire, both he and they, that there be no wickedness among you.

15 If there is a man who lies with a beast, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall slaughter the beast.

16 If there is a woman who approaches any beast to lie down with it, you shall kill the woman and the beast. They shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

17 If there is a man who takes his sister, his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and he sees her nakedness and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach, and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

18 If there is a man who lies with a woman having her sickness, and he uncovers her nakedness, he has laid bare her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood; and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

19 And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister nor of your father’s sister, for he has made naked his flesh; they shall bear their iniquity.

20 If there is a man who lies with his aunt, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.

21 If there is a man who takes his brother’s wife, it is impurity. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless.

22 You shall therefore keep all My statutes and all My ordinances, and do them, so that the land into which I am bringing you to dwell in does not vomit you out.

23 And you shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am about to send away before you. Because they did all these things, so I abhorred them.

Leviticus 19:21 — Leviticus 20:5

21 And he shall bring his trespass offering to Jehovah, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, a ram for a trespass offering.

22 And the priest shall make expiation for him before Jehovah with the ram of the trespass offering for his sin which he has committed; and the sin which he has committed will be forgiven him.

23 And when you come into the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as unharvestable. Three years it shall be unharvestable to you; it shall not be eaten.

24 But in the fourth year all their fruit shall be holy, for giving praise to Jehovah.

25 And in the fifth year you may eat of their fruit, that their produce may increase for you; I am Jehovah your God.

26 You shall not eat anything with blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying.

27 You shall not round the corners of your heads, nor shall you mar the edges of your beard.

28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor inscribe any marks upon you; I am Jehovah.

29 Do not profane your daughter by making her a harlot, so that the land does not fall to harlotry, and the land become full of wickedness.

30 You shall keep My Sabbaths and revere My sanctuary; I am Jehovah.

31 Do not turn to mediums or to spiritists; do not seek after them to be defiled by them; I am Jehovah your God.

32 You shall rise up before the grayheaded and honor the face of the old man. And you shall fear your God; I am Jehovah.

33 And if a sojourner sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.

34 The sojourner who sojourns with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt; I am Jehovah your God.

35 You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity.

36 You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin; I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

37 And you shall observe all My statutes and all My ordinances, and do them; I am Jehovah.

CHAPTER 20

1 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Moreover you shall say to the children of Israel, Anyone of the children of Israel or of the sojourners who sojourn in Israel who gives any of his offspring to Molech shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

3 I will also set My face against that man and will cut him off from among his people because he has given one of his offspring to Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary and profane My holy name.

4 And if the people of the land ever hide their eyes from that man when he gives some of his offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death,

5 Then I will set My face against that man and against his family, and I will cut off from among their people him and all who prostitute themselves after him, to prostitute themselves after Molech.
