16
and so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things; for I am HaShem who sanctify them.
17
And HaShem 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 bringeth his offering, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their free-will-offerings, which are brought unto HaShem for a burnt-offering;
19
that ye may be accepted, ye shall offer a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20
But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not bring; for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21
And whosoever bringeth a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto HaShem in fulfilment of a vow clearly uttered, or for a freewill-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
22
Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scabbed, or scurvy, ye shall not offer these unto HaShem, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto HaShem.
23
Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing too long or too short, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24
That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or torn, or cut, ye shall not offer unto HaShem; neither shall ye do thus in your land.
25
Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your G-d of any of these, because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them; they shall not be accepted for you.
26
And HaShem spoke unto Moses, saying:
27
When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; but from the eighth day and thenceforth it may be accepted for an offering made by fire unto HaShem.
28
And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29
And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto HaShem, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted.
30
On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am HaShem.
31
And ye shall keep My commandments, and do them: I am HaShem.
32
And ye shall not profane My holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am HaShem who hallow you,
33
that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your G-d: I am HaShem.
