Leviticus 22:1-33, NLT
Leviticus 22
1The Lord said to Moses,
“In all future generations, if any of your descendants is ceremonially unclean when he approaches the sacred offerings that the people of Israel consecrate to the Lord, he must be cut off from my presence. I am the Lord.
4“If any of Aaron’s descendants has a skin disease*22:4 Traditionally rendered leprosy; see note on 13:2a. or any kind of discharge that makes him ceremonially unclean, he may not eat from the sacred offerings until he has been pronounced clean. He also becomes unclean by touching a corpse, or by having an emission of semen,
9“The priests must follow my instructions carefully. Otherwise they will be punished for their sin and will die for violating my instructions. I am the Lord who makes them holy.
10“No one outside a priest’s family may eat the sacred offerings. Even guests and hired workers in a priest’s home are not allowed to eat them.
14“Any such person who eats the sacred offerings without realizing it must pay the priest for the amount eaten, plus an additional 20 percent.
Worthy and Unworthy Offerings
17And the Lord said to Moses,
“If you present a gift as a burnt offering to the Lord, whether it is to fulfill a vow or is a voluntary offering,
21“If you present a peace offering to the Lord from the herd or the flock, whether it is to fulfill a vow or is a voluntary offering, you must offer a perfect animal. It may have no defect of any kind.
26And the Lord said to Moses,
31“You must faithfully keep all my commands by putting them into practice, for I am the Lord.
