Restrictions against the Unclean

1And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 2Speake vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, that they be separated from the holy thinges of the children of Israel, and that they pollute not mine holy name in those things, which they hallowe vnto me: I am the Lorde. 3Say vnto them, Whosoeuer he be of all your seede among your generations after you, that toucheth the holy things which the children of Israel hallowe vnto the Lord, hauing his vncleannesse vpon him, euen that person shall be cut off from my sight: I am the Lorde. 4Whosoeuer also of the seede of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue, he shall not eate of the holy things vntill he be cleane: and who so toucheth any that is vncleane, by reason of the dead, or a man whose issue of seede runneth from him, 5Or the man that toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made vncleane, or a man, by whom he may take vncleannesse, whatsoeuer vncleannesse he hath,

6The person that hath touched such, shall therefore be vncleane vntill the euen, and shall not eat of ye holy things, except he haue washed his flesh with water. 7But when the Sunne is downe, hee shalbe cleane, & shall afterward eate of the holy things: for it is his foode. 8Of a beast that dyeth, or is rent with beasts, whereby he may be defiled, hee shall not eate: I am the Lorde. 9Let them keepe therefore mine ordinance, least they beare their sinne for it, and die for it, if they defile it: I the Lord sanctifie them.

10There shall no stranger also eate of the holie thing, neither the ghest of the Priest, neither shall an hired seruant eat of the holie thing: 11But if the Priest bye any with money, he shall eate of it, also he that is borne in his house: they shall eate of his meate. 12If the Priests daughter also be maried vnto a stranger, she may not eate of the holy offrings. 13Notwithstanding if the Priests daughter be a widowe or diuorced, and haue no childe, but is returned vnto her fathers house shee shall eate of her fathers bread, as she did in her youth but there shall no stranger eate thereof. 14If a man eate of the holie thing vnwittingly, he shall put the fift part thereunto, and giue it vnto the Priest with the halowed thing. 15So they shall not defile the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer vnto the Lord, 16Neither cause the people to beare the iniquitie of their trespas, while they eate their holy thing: for I the Lorde do halowe them.

Worthy Offerings

17And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 18Speake vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, and to all the children of Israel, and say vnto them, Whosoeuer he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his sacrifice for all their vowes, and for all their free offrings, which they vse to offer vnto the Lorde for a burnt offring, 19Yee shall offer of your free minde a male without blemish of the beeues, of the sheepe, or of the goates. 20Ye shall not offer any thing that hath a blemish: for that shal not be acceptable for you. 21And whosoeuer bringeth a peace offring vnto ye Lord to accomplish his vowe, or for a free offring, of the beeues, or of the sheepe, his free offring shall bee perfect, no blemish shalbe in it. 22Blinde, or broken, or maimed, or hauing a wenne, or skiruie, or skabbed: these shall yee not offer vnto the Lord nor make an offring by fire of these vpon the altar of the Lorde. 23Yet a bullocke, or a sheepe that hath any member superfluous, or lacking, such mayest thou present for a free offring, but for a vowe it shall not be accepted. 24Ye shall not offer vnto ye Lord that which is bruised or crusshed, or broken, or cut away, neither shal ye make an offring thereof in your land, 25Neither of ye hand of a strager shal ye offer ye bread of your God of any of these, because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: therefore shall they not be accepted for you.

26And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 27When a bullocke, or a sheepe, or a goate shal be brought foorth, it shalbe euen seuen daies vnder his damme: and from the eight day forth, it shalbe accepted for a sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord. 28As for the cowe or the ewe, yee shall not kill her, and her yong both in one day. 29So when ye will offer a thanke offring vnto the Lord, ye shall offer willingly. 30The same day it shalbe eaten, yee shall leaue none of it vntill the morowe: I am the Lord. 31Therefore shall ye keepe my commandements and do them: for I am the Lord.

32Neither shal ye pollute mine holy Name, but I will be halowed among the children of Israel. I the Lord sanctifie you, 33Which haue brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord.
