his mother;
[12] Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the
crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD.
[13] And he shall take a wife in her
virginity.
[14] A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall
take a virgin of his own people to wife.
[15] Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the
LORD do sanctify him.
[16] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[17] Speak unto Aaron, saying,
Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer
the bread of his God.
[18] For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind
man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
[19] Or a man that is brokenfooted,
or brokenhanded,
[20] Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed,
or hath his stones broken;
[21] No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come
nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer
the bread of his God.
[22] He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
[23]
Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he
profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
[24] And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to
his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
Lev.22
[1] 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 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
