Leviticus 22

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said:	1 וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר
2 'Speak to Aaron and his sons. They must be consecrated by the holy offerings of the Israelites andmust not profane my holy name; for my sake they must sanctify it; I am Yahweh.	2 דַּבֵּר אֶל־אַהֲרֹן וְאֶל־בָּנָיו וְיִנָּזְרוּ מִקָּדְשֵׁי בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא יְחַלְּלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם קָדְשִׁי אֲשֶׁר הֵם מַקְדִּשִׁים לִי אֲנִי יְהוָה
3 Say to them: "Any one of your descendants, for al time, who in a state of uncleanness approaches theholy offerings consecrated to Yahweh by the Israelites, wil be outlawed from my presence. I am Yahweh.	3 אֱמֹר אֲלֵהֶם לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶם כָּל־אִישׁ ׀ אֲשֶׁר־יִקְרַב מִכָּל־זַרְעֲכֶם אֶל־הַקֳּדָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר יַקְדִּישׁוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל לַיהוָה וְטֻמְאָתֹו עָלָיו וְנִכְרְתָה הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא מִלְּפָנַי אֲנִי יְהוָה
4 "Anyone of Aaron's line who is afflicted with a contagious skin-disease or a discharge will not eat holythings until he is clean. Anyone who touches anything made unclean by a dead body, or who has a seminaldischarge,	4 אִישׁ אִישׁ מִזֶּרַע אַהֲרֹן וְהוּא צָרוּעַ אֹו זָב בַּקֳּדָשִׁים לֹא יֹאכַל עַד אֲשֶׁר יִטְהָר וְהַנֹּגֵעַ בְּכָל־טְמֵא־נֶפֶשׁ אֹו אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־תֵּצֵא מִמֶּנּוּ שִׁכְבַת־זָרַע
5 or who is made unclean by touching any kind of reptile or any one who has contaminated him with hisown uncleanness, be it what it may,	5 אֹו־אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יִגַּע בְּכָל־שֶׁרֶץ אֲשֶׁר יִטְמָא־לֹו אֹו בְאָדָם אֲשֶׁר יִטְמָא־לֹו לְכֹל טֻמְאָתֹו
6 in short, anyone who has had any such contact wil be unclean until evening, and must not eat holythings until he has washed his body.	6 נֶפֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר תִּגַּע־בֹּו וְטָמְאָה עַד־הָעָרֶב וְלֹא יֹאכַל מִן־הַקֳּדָשִׁים כִּי אִם־רָחַץ בְּשָׂרֹו בַּמָּיִם
7 At sunset he wil be clean and may then eat holy things, for these are his food.	7 וּבָא הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְטָהֵר וְאַחַר יֹאכַל מִן־הַקֳּדָשִׁים כִּי לַחְמֹו הוּא
8 "He must not eat an animal that has died a natural death or been savaged; he would contractuncleanness from it. I am Yahweh.	8 נְבֵלָה וּטְרֵפָה לֹא יֹאכַל לְטָמְאָה־בָהּ אֲנִי יְהוָה
9 "They must keep my rules and not burden themselves with sin. If they profane them, they will incurdeath; I, Yahweh, have sanctified them.	9 וְשָׁמְרוּ אֶת־מִשְׁמַרְתִּי וְלֹא־יִשְׂאוּ עָלָיו חֵטְא וּמֵתוּ בֹו כִּי יְחַלְּלֻהוּ אֲנִי יְהוָה מְקַדְּשָׁם
10 "No lay person may eat anything holy; no guest or employee of a priest may eat anything holy.	10 וְכָל־זָר לֹא־יֹאכַל קֹדֶשׁ תֹּושַׁב כֹּהֵן וְשָׂכִיר לֹא־יֹאכַל קֹדֶשׁ
11 But if the priest has acquired a slave by purchase, the slave may eat it like anyone born in hishousehold; they will share his food.	11 וְכֹהֵן כִּי־יִקְנֶה נֶפֶשׁ קִנְיַן כַּסְפֹּו הוּא יֹאכַל בֹּו וִילִיד בֵּיתֹו הֵם יֹאכְלוּ בְלַחְמֹו
12 "If a priest's daughter marries a layman, she will have no share in the holy things set aside,	12 וּבַת־כֹּהֵן כִּי תִהְיֶה לְאִישׁ זָר הִוא בִּתְרוּמַת הַקֳּדָשִׁים לֹא תֹאכֵל
13 but if she is widowed or divorced and, being childless, has had to return to her father's house aswhen she was young, she may share her father's food. No lay person may share it;	13 וּבַת־כֹּהֵן כִּי תִהְיֶה אַלְמָנָה וּגְרוּשָׁה וְזֶרַע אֵין לָהּ וְשָׁבָה אֶל־בֵּית אָבִיהָ כִּנְעוּרֶיהָ מִלֶּחֶם אָבִיהָ תֹּאכֵל וְכָל־זָר לֹא־יֹאכַל בֹּו׃ ס
14 anyone who does eat a holy thing by inadvertence, wil restore it to the priest with one-fifth added.	14 וְאִישׁ כִּי־יֹאכַל קֹדֶשׁ בִּשְׁגָגָה וְיָסַף חֲמִשִׁיתֹו עָלָיו וְנָתַן לַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַקֹּדֶשׁ
15 "They may not profane the holy offerings which the Israelites have set aside for Yahweh.	15 וְלֹא יְחַלְּלוּ אֶת־קָדְשֵׁי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵת אֲשֶׁר־יָרִימוּ לַיהוָה
16 By eating these, they would burden them with guilt requiring a sacrifice of reparation; for I, Yahweh, have sanctified these offerings." '	16 וְהִשִּׂיאוּ אֹותָם עֲוֹן אַשְׁמָה בְּאָכְלָם אֶת־קָדְשֵׁיהֶם כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה מְקַדְּשָׁם׃ פ
17 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said:	17 וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר
18 'Speak to Aaron, to his sons, and to al the Israelites and say: "Any member of the House of Israel orany alien resident in Israel who brings an offering either in payment of a vow or as a voluntary gift, and offers itas a burnt offering to Yahweh,	18 דַּבֵּר אֶל־אַהֲרֹן וְאֶל־בָּנָיו וְאֶל כָּל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם אִישׁ אִישׁ מִבֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמִן־הַגֵּר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר יַקְרִיב קָרְבָּנֹו לְכָל־נִדְרֵיהֶם וּלְכָל־נִדְבֹותָם אֲשֶׁר־יַקְרִיבוּ לַיהוָה לְעֹלָה
19 must, if he is to be acceptable, offer an unblemished male, be it bul or sheep or goat.	19 לִרְצֹנְכֶם תָּמִים זָכָר בַּבָּקָר בַּכְּשָׂבִים וּבָעִזִּים
20 You wil not offer anything with a blemish, for it would not make you acceptable.	20 כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־בֹּו מוּם לֹא תַקְרִיבוּ כִּי־לֹא לְרָצֹון יִהְיֶה לָכֶם
21 "If anyone offers Yahweh a communion sacrifice, either to fulfil a vow or as a voluntary offering, theanimal, be it from the herd or flock, must be perfect, if he is to be acceptable; it must be unblemished.	21 וְאִישׁ כִּי־יַקְרִיב זֶבַח־שְׁלָמִים לַיהוָה לְפַלֵּא־נֶדֶר אֹו לִנְדָבָה בַּבָּקָר אֹו בַצֹּאן תָּמִים יִהְיֶה לְרָצֹון כָּל־מוּם לֹא יִהְיֶה־בֹּו
22 You wil not offer Yahweh any animal which is blind, lame, mutilated, ulcerous, scabby or covered insores. No part of such an animal wil be offered on the altar as food burnt for Yahweh.	22 עַוֶּרֶת אֹו שָׁבוּר אֹו־חָרוּץ אֹו־יַבֶּלֶת אֹו גָרָב אֹו יַלֶּפֶת לֹא־תַקְרִיבוּ אֵלֶּה לַיהוָה וְאִשֶּׁה לֹא־תִתְּנוּ מֵהֶם עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ לַיהוָה
23 As a voluntary offering, you may offer a bul or a lamb that is underdeveloped or deformed; but suchwil not be acceptable in payment of a vow.	23 וְשֹׁור וָשֶׂה שָׂרוּעַ וְקָלוּט נְדָבָה תַּעֲשֶׂה אֹתֹו וּלְנֵדֶר לֹא יֵרָצֶה
24 You wil not offer Yahweh an animal if its testicles have been bruised, crushed, torn or cut off. Youmay not do that in your country,	24 וּמָעוּךְ וְכָתוּת וְנָתוּק וְכָרוּת לֹא תַקְרִיבוּ לַיהוָה וּבְאַרְצְכֶם לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ
25 and you may not accept any such from the hands of a stranger, to be offered as food for your God.Their deformity is a blemish, and they would not make you acceptable." '	25 וּמִיַּד בֶּן־נֵכָר לֹא תַקְרִיבוּ אֶת־לֶחֶם אֱלֹהֵיכֶם מִכָּל־אֵלֶּה כִּי מָשְׁחָתָם בָּהֶם מוּם בָּם לֹא יֵרָצוּ לָכֶם׃ פ
26 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said:	26 וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר
27 'A calf, lamb, or kid will stay with its dam for seven days after being born. From the eighth dayonwards, it wil be acceptable as food burnt for Yahweh.	27 שֹׁור אֹו־כֶשֶׂב אֹו־עֵז כִּי יִוָּלֵד וְהָיָה שִׁבְעַת יָמִים תַּחַת אִמֹּו וּמִיֹּום הַשְּׁמִינִי וָהָלְאָה יֵרָצֶה לְקָרְבַּן אִשֶּׁה לַיהוָה
28 But no animal, whether cow or ewe, wil be slaughtered on the same day as its young.	28 וְשֹׁור אֹו־שֶׂה אֹתֹו וְאֶת־בְּנֹו לֹא תִשְׁחֲטוּ בְּיֹום אֶחָד
29 'If you offer Yahweh a sacrifice with praise, do it in the acceptable manner;	29 וְכִי־תִזְבְּחוּ זֶבַח־תֹּודָה לַיהוָה לִרְצֹנְכֶם תִּזְבָּחוּ
30 it must be eaten the same day; you wil leave nothing over til next morning. I am Yahweh.	30 בַּיֹּום הַהוּא יֵאָכֵל לֹא־תֹותִירוּ מִמֶּנּוּ עַד־בֹּקֶר אֲנִי יְהוָה
31 'You wil keep my commands and put them into practice. I am Yahweh.	31 וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם מִצְוֹתַי וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אֹתָם אֲנִי יְהוָה
32 You wil not profane my holy name -- so that I may be honoured as holy among the Israelites, I,Yahweh, who make you holy,	32 וְלֹא תְחַלְּלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם קָדְשִׁי וְנִקְדַּשְׁתִּי בְּתֹוךְ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲנִי יְהוָה מְקַדִּשְׁכֶם
33 I who brought you out of Egypt, to be your God, I, Yahweh.'	33 הַמֹּוצִיא אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לִהְיֹות לָכֶם לֵאלֹהִים אֲנִי יְהוָה׃ פ
