21:1

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

Speak
<0559> (8798)

unto the priests
<03548>

the sons
<01121>

of Aaron
<0175>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, There shall none be defiled
<02930> (8691)

for the dead
<05315>

among his people
<05971>_:

21:2

But for his kin
<07607>_,

that is near
<07138>

unto him, [that is], for his mother
<0517>_,

and for his father
<01>_,

and for his son
<01121>_,

and for his daughter
<01323>_,

and for his brother
<0251>_,

21:3

And for his sister
<0269>

a virgin
<01330>_,

that is nigh
<07138>

unto him, which hath had no husband
<0376>_;

for her may he be defiled
<02930> (8691)_.

21:4

[But] he shall not defile
<02930> (8691)

himself, [being] a chief man
<01167>

among his people
<05971>_,

to profane
<02490> (8736)

himself. {he...: or, being an husband among his people, he shall not defile himself for his wife, etc}

21:5

They shall not make
<07139> (8799)

baldness
<07144>

upon their head
<07218>_,

neither shall they shave off
<01548> (8762)

the corner
<06285>

of their beard
<02206>_,

nor make
<08295> (8799)

any cuttings
<08296>

in their flesh
<01320>_.

21:6

They shall be holy
<06944>

unto their God
<0430>_,

and not profane
<02490> (8762)

the name
<08034>

of their God
<0430>_:

for the offerings
<0801> (0)

of the LORD
<03068>

made by fire
<0801>_,

[and] the bread
<03899>

of their God
<0430>_,

they do offer
<07126> (8688)_:

therefore they shall be holy
<06918>_.

21:7

They shall not take
<03947> (8799)

a wife
<0802>

[that is] a whore
<02181> (8802)_,

or profane
<02491>_;

neither shall they take
<03947> (8799)

a woman
<0802>

put away
<01644> (8803)

from her husband
<0376>_:

for he [is] holy
<06918>

unto his God
<0430>_.

21:8

Thou shalt sanctify
<06942> (8765)

him therefore; for he offereth
<07126> (8688)

the bread
<03899>

of thy God
<0430>_:

he shall be holy
<06918>

unto thee: for I the LORD
<03068>_,

which sanctify
<06942> (8764)

you, [am] holy
<06918>_.

21:9

And the daughter
<01323>

of any
<0376>

priest
<03548>_,

if she profane
<02490> (8735)

herself by playing the whore
<02181> (8800)_,

she profaneth
<02490> (8764)

her father
<01>_:

she shall be burnt
<08313> (8735)

with fire
<0784>_.

21:10

And [he that is] the high
<01419>

priest
<03548>

among his brethren
<0251>_,

upon whose head
<07218>

the anointing
<04888>

oil
<08081>

was poured
<03332> (8714)_,

and that is consecrated
<04390> (8765) <03027>

to put
<03847> (8800)

on the garments
<0899>_,

shall not uncover
<06544> (8799)

his head
<07218>_,

nor rend
<06533> (8799)

his clothes
<0899>_;

21:11

Neither shall he go in
<0935> (8799)

to any dead
<04191> (8801)

body
<05315>_,

nor defile
<02930> (8691)

himself for his father
<01>_,

or for his mother
<0517>_;

21:12

Neither shall he go out
<03318> (8799)

of the sanctuary
<04720>_,

nor profane
<02490> (8762)

the sanctuary
<04720>

of his God
<0430>_;

for the crown
<05145>

of the anointing
<04888>

oil
<08081>

of his God
<0430>

[is] upon him: I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

21:13

And he shall take
<03947> (8799)

a wife
<0802>

in her virginity
<01331>_.

21:14

A widow
<0490>_,

or a divorced woman
<01644> (8803)_,

or profane
<02491>_,

[or] an harlot
<02181> (8802)_,

these shall he not take
<03947> (8799)_:

but he shall take
<03947> (8799)

a virgin
<01330>

of his own people
<05971>

to wife
<0802>_.

21:15

Neither shall he profane
<02490> (8762)

his seed
<02233>

among his people
<05971>_:

for I the LORD
<03068>

do sanctify
<06942> (8764)

him.

21:16

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

21:17

Speak
<01696> (8761)

unto Aaron
<0175>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Whosoever
<0376>

[he be] of thy seed
<02233>

in their generations
<01755>

that hath [any] blemish
<03971>_,

let him not approach
<07126> (8799)

to offer
<07126> (8687)

the bread
<03899>

of his God
<0430>_.

{bread: or, food}

21:18

For whatsoever man
<0376>

[he be] that hath a blemish
<03971>_,

he shall not approach
<07126> (8799)_:

a blind
<05787>

man
<0376>_,

or a lame
<06455>_,

or he that hath a flat nose
<02763> (8803)_,

or any thing superfluous
<08311> (8803)_,

21:19

Or a man
<0376>

that is brokenfooted
<07667> <07272>_,

or brokenhanded
<07667> <03027>_,

21:20

Or crookbackt
<01384>_,

or a dwarf
<01851>_,

or that hath a blemish
<08400>

in his eye
<05869>_,

or be scurvy
<01618>_,

or scabbed
<03217>_,

or hath his stones
<0810>

broken
<04790>_;

{a dwarf: or, too slender}

21:21

No man
<0376>

that hath a blemish
<03971>

of the seed
<02233>

of Aaron
<0175>

the priest
<03548>

shall come nigh
<05066> (8799)

to offer
<07126> (8687)

the offerings
<0801> (0)

of the LORD
<03068>

made by fire
<0801>_:

he hath a blemish
<03971>_;

he shall not come nigh
<05066> (8799)

to offer
<07126> (8687)

the bread
<03899>

of his God
<0430>_.

21:22

He shall eat
<0398> (8799)

the bread
<03899>

of his God
<0430>_,

[both] of the most
<06944>

holy
<06944>_,

and of the holy
<06944>_.

21:23

Only he shall not go in
<0935> (8799)

unto the vail
<06532>_,

nor come nigh
<05066> (8799)

unto the altar
<04196>_,

because he hath a blemish
<03971>_;

that he profane
<02490> (8762)

not my sanctuaries
<04720>_:

for I the LORD
<03068>

do sanctify
<06942> (8764)

them.

21:24

And Moses
<04872>

told
<01696> (8762)

[it] unto Aaron
<0175>_,

and to his sons
<01121>_,

and unto all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

22:1

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

22:2

Speak
<01696> (8761)

unto Aaron
<0175>

and to his sons
<01121>_,

that they separate
<05144> (8735)

themselves from the holy things
<06944>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and that they profane
<02490> (8762)

not my holy
<06944>

name
<08034>

[in those things] which they hallow
<06942> (8688)

unto me: I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

22:3

Say
<0559> (8798)

unto them, Whosoever
<0376>

[he be] of all your seed
<02233>

among your generations
<01755>_,

that goeth
<07126> (8799)

unto the holy things
<06944>_,

which the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

hallow
<06942> (8686)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

having his uncleanness
<02932>

upon him, that soul
<05315>

shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)

from my presence
<06440>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

22:4

What man soever
<0376>

of the seed
<02233>

of Aaron
<0175>

[is] a leper
<06879> (8803)_,

or hath a running issue
<02100> (8802)_;

he shall not eat
<0398> (8799)

of the holy things
<06944>_,

until he be clean
<02891> (8799)_.

And whoso toucheth
<05060> (8802)

any thing [that is] unclean
<02931>

[by] the dead
<05315>_,

or a man
<0376>

whose seed
<02233> <07902>

goeth
<03318> (8799)

from him; {running...: Heb. running of the reins}

22:5

Or whosoever
<0376>

toucheth
<05060> (8799)

any creeping thing
<08318>_,

whereby he may be made unclean
<02930> (8799)_,

or a man
<0120>

of whom he may take uncleanness
<02930> (8799)_,

whatsoever uncleanness
<02932>

he hath;

22:6

The soul
<05315>

which hath touched
<05060> (8799)

any such shall be unclean
<02930> (8804)

until even
<06153>_,

and shall not eat
<0398> (8799)

of the holy things
<06944>_,

unless
<0518>

he wash
<07364> (8804)

his flesh
<01320>

with water
<04325>_.

22:7

And when the sun
<08121>

is down
<0935> (8804)_,

he shall be clean
<02891> (8804)_,

and shall afterward
<0310>

eat
<0398> (8799)

of the holy things
<06944>_;

because it [is] his food
<03899>_.

22:8

That which dieth of itself
<05038>_,

or is torn
<02966>

[with beasts], he shall not eat
<0398> (8799)

to defile
<02930> (8800)

himself therewith: I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

22:9

They shall therefore keep
<08104> (8804)

mine ordinance
<04931>_,

lest they bear
<05375> (8799)

sin
<02399>

for it, and die
<04191> (8804)

therefore, if they profane
<02490> (8762)

it: I the LORD
<03068>

do sanctify
<06942> (8764)

them.

22:10

There shall no stranger
<02114> (8801)

eat
<0398> (8799)

[of] the holy thing
<06944>_:

a sojourner
<08453>

of the priest
<03548>_,

or an hired servant
<07916>_,

shall not eat
<0398> (8799)

[of] the holy thing
<06944>_.

22:11

But if the priest
<03548>

buy
<07069> (8799)

[any] soul
<05315>

with
<07075>

his money
<03701>_,

he shall eat
<0398> (8799)

of it, and he that is born
<03211>

in his house
<01004>_:

they shall eat
<0398> (8799)

of his meat
<03899>_.

{with...: Heb. with the purchase of his money}

22:12

If the priest's
<03548>

daughter
<01323>

also be [married] unto a stranger
<0376> <02114> (8801)_,

she may not eat
<0398> (8799)

of an offering
<08641>

of the holy things
<06944>_.

{a stranger: Heb. a man a stranger}

22:13

But if the priest's
<03548>

daughter
<01323>

be a widow
<0490>_,

or divorced
<01644> (8803)_,

and have no child
<02233>_,

and is returned
<07725> (8804)

unto her father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

as in her youth
<05271>_,

she shall eat
<0398> (8799)

of her father's
<01>

meat
<03899>_:

but there shall no stranger
<02114> (8801)

eat
<0398> (8799)

thereof.

22:14

And if a man
<0376>

eat
<0398> (8799)

[of] the holy thing
<06944>

unwittingly
<07684>_,

then he shall put
<03254> (8804)

the fifth
<02549>

[part] thereof unto it, and shall give
<05414> (8804)

[it] unto the priest
<03548>

with the holy thing
<06944>_.

22:15

And they shall not profane
<02490> (8762)

the holy things
<06944>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which they offer
<07311> (8686)

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

22:16

Or suffer them to bear
<05375> (8689)

the iniquity
<05771>

of trespass
<0819>_,

when they eat
<0398> (8800)

their holy things
<06944>_:

for I the LORD
<03068>

do sanctify
<06942> (8764)

them. {suffer...: or, lade themselves with the iniquity of trespass in their eating}

22:17

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

22:18

Speak
<01696> (8761)

unto Aaron
<0175>_,

and to his sons
<01121>_,

and unto all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Whatsoever
<0376>

[he be] of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

or of the strangers
<01616>

in Israel
<03478>_,

that will offer
<07126> (8686)

his oblation
<07133>

for all his vows
<05088>_,

and for all his freewill offerings
<05071>_,

which they will offer
<07126> (8686)

unto the LORD
<03068>

for a burnt offering
<05930>_;

22:19

[Ye shall offer] at your own will
<07522>

a male
<02145>

without blemish
<08549>_,

of the beeves
<01241>_,

of the sheep
<03775>_,

or of the goats
<05795>_.

22:20

[But] whatsoever hath a blemish
<03971>_,

[that] shall ye not offer
<07126> (8686)_:

for it shall not be acceptable
<07522>

for you.

22:21

And whosoever
<0376>

offereth
<07126> (8686)

a sacrifice
<02077>

of peace offerings
<08002>

unto the LORD
<03068>

to accomplish
<06381> (8763)

[his] vow
<05088>_,

or a freewill offering
<05071>

in beeves
<01241>

or sheep
<06629>_,

it shall be perfect
<08549>

to be accepted
<07522>_;

there shall be no blemish
<03971>

therein. {sheep: or, goats}

22:22

Blind
<05788>_,

or broken
<07665> (8803)_,

or maimed
<02782> (8803)_,

or having a wen
<02990>_,

or scurvy
<01618>_,

or scabbed
<03217>_,

ye shall not offer
<07126> (8686)

these unto the LORD
<03068>_,

nor make
<05414> (8799)

an offering by fire
<0801>

of them upon the altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

22:23

Either a bullock
<07794>

or a lamb
<07716>

that hath any thing superfluous
<08311> (8803)

or lacking in his parts
<07038> (8803)_,

that mayest thou offer
<06213> (8799)

[for] a freewill offering
<05071>_;

but for a vow
<05088>

it shall not be accepted
<07521> (8735)_.

{lamb: or, kid}

22:24

Ye shall not offer
<07126> (8686)

unto the LORD
<03068>

that which is bruised
<04600> (8803)_,

or crushed
<03807> (8803)_,

or broken
<05423> (8803)_,

or cut
<03772> (8803)_;

neither shall ye make
<06213> (8799)

[any offering thereof] in your land
<0776>_.

22:25

Neither from a stranger's
<05236>

hand
<03027> <01121>

shall ye offer
<07126> (8686)

the bread
<03899>

of your God
<0430>

of any of these; because their corruption
<04893>

[is] in them, [and] blemishes
<03971>

[be] in them: they shall not be accepted
<07521> (8735)

for you.

22:26

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

22:27

When a bullock
<07794>_,

or a sheep
<03775>_,

or a goat
<05795>_,

is brought forth
<03205> (8735)_,

then it shall be seven
<07651>

days
<03117>

under the dam
<0517>_;

and from the eighth
<08066>

day
<03117>

and thenceforth
<01973>

it shall be accepted
<07521> (8735)

for an offering
<07133>

made by fire
<0801>

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

22:28

And [whether it be] cow
<07794>

or ewe
<07716>_,

ye shall not kill
<07819> (8799)

it and her young
<01121>

both in one
<0259>

day
<03117>_.

{ewe: or, she goat}

22:29

And when ye will offer
<02076> (8799)

a sacrifice
<02077>

of thanksgiving
<08426>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

offer
<02076> (8799)

[it] at your own will
<07522>_.

22:30

On the same day
<03117>

it shall be eaten up
<0398> (8735)_;

ye shall leave
<03498> (8686)

none of it until the morrow
<01242>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

22:31

Therefore shall ye keep
<08104> (8804)

my commandments
<04687>_,

22:32

Neither shall ye profane
<02490> (8762)

my holy

<03478>_:

I [am] the LORD

<06942> (8762)

you,
