Leviticus 22:8-24 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

8. That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat to defile himself by it: I am the LORD.

9. They shall therefore keep my 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 a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

11. But if the priest buys any person with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his food.

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 food: but there shall no stranger eat of it.

14. And if a man eat of a holy thing unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of it unto it, and

15. And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;

16. Or allow them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy offerings: for I the LORD do sanctify them.

17. And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

18. Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his offering for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;

19. You shall offer of your own free will a male without blemish, of the cattle, of the sheep, or of the goats.

20. But whatsoever has a blemish, that shall you not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

21. And whosoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in cattle or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish in it.

22. Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a discharge, or an itching disease, or scabs, you 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 has any limb too long or too short, that may you offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

24. You shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall you make any offering of it in your land.
