The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

“Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.

“Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am the LORD.

“‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission,

or whoever touches any creeping thing by which he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may become unclean, whatever uncleanness he has—

the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes his body in water.

When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.

He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by it. I am the LORD.

“‘They shall therefore follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it and die in it, if they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

“‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread.

If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.

But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any of it.

“‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.

The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the LORD,

and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

“Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to the LORD for a burnt offering:

that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.

But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.

You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the LORD.

Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

You must not offer to the LORD that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land.

You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

“When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to the LORD.

Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

“When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am the LORD.

“Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am the LORD.

You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am the LORD who makes you holy,

who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am the LORD.”

وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلاً:

«مُرْ هارونَ وبَنيه بِأَن يَتَجَنَّبوا بَعضَ الأَقْداسِ الَّتي يُقَدِّسُها لي بَنو إِسْرائيلَ، ولا يُدَنِّسوا ٱسمِيَ القُدُّوس: أَنا الرَّبّ

قُلْ لَهم: أَيُّ رَجُلٍ مِن نَسلِكم مَدى أَجْيالِكم تَقَدَّمَ إِلى الأَقْداسِ الَّتي يُقَدِّسُها بَنو إِسْرائيلَ لِلرَّبّ، وهو في نَجاسَتِه، تُفصَلُ تِلكَ النَّفْسُ مِن أَمامي: أَنا الرَّبّ

أَيُّ رَجُلٍ مِن نَسْلِ هارونَ كانَ في حالَةِ البَرَصِ أَوِ السَّيَلان، فلا يأكُلْ مِنَ الأَقْداسِ إِلى أَن يَطهُر. ومَن مَسَّ شَيئًا نَجِسًا لِمَيت، أَوِ الرَّجُلُ الَّذي خَرَجَ مِنه سَيَلانٌ مَنَويّ

وأَيُّ رَجُلٍ مَسَّ دُوَيبةً يُتَنَجَّسُ بِها أَو إِنْسانًا يُتَنَجَّسُ بِه لِنَجاسةٍ فيه

كُلُّ مَن مَسَّ شَيئًا مِن ذٰلك، يَكونُ نَجِسًا حتَّى المَساء، ولا يَأكُلُ مِنَ الأَقْداس، بل يَغسِلُ بَدَنَه بِالماء

فإِذا غابَتِ الشَّمْسُ طَهُرَ، وبَعدَ ذٰلك يأكُلُ مِنَ الأَقْداس، لأَنَّها طَعامُه

ولا يَأكُلِ المَيتَةَ والفَريسةَ فيَتَنَجَّس: أَنا الرَّبّ

فلْيَحفَظوا أَحْكامي ولا يَحمِلوا فيها وِزْرًا فيَهلِكوا بِسَبَبِه إِذا دَنَّسوها: أَنا الرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُهم

وغَيرُ الكاهِنِ لا يأكُلُ قُدْسًا: لا ضَيفُ الكاهِنِ ولا أَجيرُه يأكُلانِ قُدْسًا

فأَمَّا إِذا ٱشتَرى كاهِنٌ إِنْسانًا بِمالِه، فهو يأكُلُ مِنَ القُدْس، وكذٰلك مَولودُ بَيتِه: إِنَّهما مِن طَعامِه يأكُلان

وأَيَّةُ ٱبنَةِ كاهِنٍ تَزَوَّجَت بِرَجُلٍ غَيرِ كاهِن، فهي لا تأكُلُ مِن تَقدِمَةِ الأَقْداس

لٰكن أَيَّةُ ٱبنَةِ كاهِنٍ صارَت أَرمَلَةً أَو مُطَلَّقَةً ولا نَسْلَ لَها ورَجَعَت إِلى بَيتِ أَبيها كأَيَّامِ صِباها، فمِن طَعامِ أَبيها تأكُل، وأَمَّا غَيرُ الكاهِن فلا يَأكُلُ مِنه

وأَيُّ رَجُلٍ أَكَلَ شَيئًا مِنَ الأَقْداسِ سَهْوًا، فلْيَزِدْ على القُدْسِ خُمسَه ويُعطِه لِلكاهِن

ولا يُدَنِّسوا أَقْداسَ بَني إِسْرائيلَ الَّتي يُقَدِّمونَها لِلرَّبّ

ولا يُحَمِّلوهم ذَنْبَ إِثْمٍ بِأَكلِهِم أَقْداسَهم، لأَنِّي أَنا الرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُهم»

وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلاً:

«خاطِبْ هارونَ وبَنيه وسائِرَ بَني إِسْرائيلَ وقُلْ لَهم: أَيُّ رَجُلٍ مِن بَيتِ إِسْرائيلَ ومِن نُزَلائِهم قَرَّبَ قُرْبانَه، وَفاءَ نَذْرٍ أَو طَوعًا، مِمَّا يُقَرِّبُه لِلرَّبِّ مُحرَقةً

فلِكَي يُرْضى عنكم يَجِبُ أَن يَكونَ ذَكَرًا تامًّا مِنَ البَقَرِ الضَّأنِ أَو المَعِز

ولا تُقَرِّبوا ما بِه عَيب، فإِنَّه لا يُرْضى بِه عنكم

وأَيُّ رَجُلٍ قَرَّبَ ذَبيحةً سَلامِيَّةً لِلرَّبّ، وفاءَ نَذْرٍ أَو طَوعًا، مِنَ البَقَرِ أَو الغَنَم، فلْيَكُنْ تامًّا لِيَكونَ مَرْضِيًّا، ولا يَكُنْ به عَيب

الأَعْمى والمَكْسورُ والمَبْتورُ والمُتَقَرِّحُ والأَجرَبُ ومَن بِه القُوباء لا تُقَرِّبوها لِلرَّبّ، ولا تَجعلوا مِنها ذَبيحةً بِالنَّارِ على المَذبَحِ لِلرَّبّ

وأَيُّ ثَورٍ أَو شاةٍ مُشَوَّهٍ أَو ضامِر، فلَكَ أَن تُقَرِّبَه طَوعًا، وأَمَّا وَفاءُ نَذْرٍ فلا يَكونُ مَرضِيًّا

والخَصِيُّ بِالرَّضِّ أَوِ السَّحْقِ أَوِ القَلْعِ أَوِ القَطْعِ لا تُقَرِّبوه لِلرِّبّ، ولا تَصنَعوا شَيئًا مِن ذٰلكَ في أَرضِكم

ومِن يَدِ ٱبنِ الغَريبِ لا تُقَرِّبوا طَعامَ إِلٰهِكم مِن جَميعِ هٰذه، لأَنَّ فسادَها عَيبٌ فيها، فلا يُرْضى بِها عنكم»

وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلاً:

«إِذا وُلِدَ بَقَرٌ أَو ضَأنٌ أَو مَعِز، فلْيَكُنْ سَبعَةَ أَيَّامٍ مع أُمِّه، ومِنَ الثَّامِنِ فصاعِدًا يَكونُ مَرضِيًّا كَقُرْبانِ ذَبيحَةٍ بِالنَّارِ لِلرَّبّ

والبَقَرةُ والشَّاةُ لا تَذبَحوها مع وَلَدِها في يَومٍ واحِد

وإِذا ذَبَحتُم ذَبيحةَ شُكرٍ لِلرَّبّ، فعلى ما يُرْضى بِه عنكم تَذبَحونَها

وفي ذٰلك اليَومِ تُؤكل، ولا تُبْقوا مِنها شَيئًا إِلى الغَد: أَنا الرَّبّ

فٱحفَظوا وَصايايَ وٱعمَلوا بِها: أَنا الرَّبّ

ولا تُدَنِّسوا ٱسْميَ القُدُّوس، فأَتَقَدَّسَ فيما بَينَ بَني إِسْرائيل: أَنا الرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُكم

الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ إِلهًا. أَنَا الرَّبُّ».
