   Leviticus Chapter 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 them: they shall not be accepted for you.   
      
   26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,   
      
   27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it   
   shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and   
   thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD.   
      
   28 And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both   
   in one day.   
      
   29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD,   
   offer it at your own will.   
      
   30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until   
   the morrow: I am the LORD.   
      
   31 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.   
      
   32 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among   
   the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,   
      
   33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.   
      
   Leviticus Chapter 23   
      
   1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,   
      
   2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the   
   feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations,   
   even these are my feasts.   
      
   3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of   
   rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the   
   sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.   
      
   4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye   
   shall proclaim in their seasons.   
      
   5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S passover.   
      
   6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened   
   bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.   
      
   7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no   
   servile work therein.   
      
   8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days:   
   in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work   
   therein.   
      
   9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,   
      
   10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come   
   into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof,   
   then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the   
   priest:   
      
   11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you:   
   on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.   
      
   12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without   
   blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.   
      
   13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour   
   mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet   
   savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part   
   of an hin.   
      
   14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears,   
   until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God:   
   it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your   
   dwellings.   
      
   15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from   
   the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths   
   shall be complete:
