Leviticus 22:1-16
1And YhwhH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2SpeakH1696 unto AaronH175 and to his sonsH1121, that they separateH5144 themselves from the holy thingsH6944 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and that they profaneH2490 not my holyH6944 nameH8034 in those things which they hallowH6942 unto me: I am YhwhH3068. 3SayH559 unto them, WhosoeverH376 he be of all your seedH2233 among your generationsH1755, that goethH7126 unto the holy thingsH6944, which the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 hallowH6942 unto YhwhH3068, having his uncleannessH2932 upon him, that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from my presenceH6440: I am YhwhH3068. 4What man soeverH376 of the seedH2233 of AaronH175 is a leperH6879, or hath a running issueH2100; he shall not eatH398 of the holy thingsH6944, until he be cleanH2891. And whoso touchethH5060 any thing that is uncleanH2931 by the deadH5315, or a manH376 whose seedH7902H2233 goethH3318 from him;1 5Or whosoeverH376 touchethH5060 any creeping thingH8318, whereby he may be made uncleanH2930, or a manH120 of whom he may take uncleannessH2930, whatsoever uncleannessH2932 he hath; 6The soulH5315 which hath touchedH5060 any such shall be uncleanH2930 until evenH6153, and shall not eatH398 of the holy thingsH6944, unlessH518 he washH7364 his fleshH1320 with waterH4325. 7And when the sunH8121 is downH935, he shall be cleanH2891, and shall afterwardH310 eatH398 of the holy thingsH6944; because it is his foodH3899. 8That which dieth of itselfH5038, or is tornH2966 with beasts, he shall not eatH398 to defileH2930 himself therewith: I am YhwhH3068. 9They shall therefore keepH8104 mine ordinanceH4931, lest they bearH5375 sinH2399 for it, and dieH4191 therefore, if they profaneH2490 it: I YhwhH3068 do sanctifyH6942 them. 10There shall no strangerH2114 eatH398 of the holy thingH6944: a sojournerH8453 of the priestH3548, or an hired servantH7916, shall not eatH398 of the holy thingH6944. 11But if the priestH3548 buyH7069 any soulH5315 withH7075 his moneyH3701, he shall eatH398 of it, and he that is bornH3211 in his houseH1004: they shall eatH398 of his meatH3899.2 12If the priest’sH3548 daughterH1323 also be married unto a strangerH2114H376, she may not eatH398 of an offeringH8641 of the holy thingsH6944.3 13But if the priest’sH3548 daughterH1323 be a widowH490, or divorcedH1644, and have no childH2233, and is returnedH7725 unto her father’sH1 houseH1004, as in her youthH5271, she shall eatH398 of her father’sH1 meatH3899: but there shall no strangerH2114 eatH398 thereof.
14And if a manH376 eatH398 of the holy thingH6944 unwittinglyH7684, then he shall putH3254 the fifthH2549 part thereof unto it, and shall giveH5414 it unto the priestH3548 with the holy thingH6944. 15And they shall not profaneH2490 the holy thingsH6944 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which they offerH7311 unto YhwhH3068; 16Or suffer them to bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of trespassH819, when they eatH398 their holy thingsH6944: for I YhwhH3068 do sanctifyH6942 them.4
