Leviticus 22:2-33
“ Speak to Aaron and his sons so that they abstain from the holy things of the people of Israel, which they dedicate to me, so that they do not profane my holy name: I am the Lord.Say to them,‘ If any one of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things that the people of Israel dedicate to the Lord, while he has an uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from my presence: I am the Lord.None of the offspring of Aaron who has a leprous disease or a discharge may eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean through contact with the dead or a man who has had an emission of semen,and whoever touches a swarming thing by which he may be made unclean or a person from whom he may take uncleanness, whatever his uncleanness may be—the person who touches such a thing shall be unclean until the evening and shall not eat of the holy things unless he has bathed his body in water.When the sun goes down he shall be clean, and afterward he may eat of the holy things, because they are his food.He shall not eat what dies of itself or is torn by beasts, and so make himself unclean by it: I am the Lord.’They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it and die thereby when they profane it: I am the Lord who sanctifies them.“ A lay person shall not eat of a holy thing; no foreign guest of the priest or hired worker shall eat of a holy thing,but if a priest buys a slave as his property for money, the slave may eat of it, and anyone born in his house may eat of his food.If a priest’s daughter marries a layman, she shall not eat of the contribution of the holy things.But if a priest’s daughter is widowed or divorced and has no child and returns to her father’s house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s food; yet no lay person shall eat of it.And if anyone eats of a holy thing unintentionally, he shall add the fifth of its value to it and give the holy thing to the priest.They shall not profane the holy things of the people of Israel, which they contribute to the Lord,and so cause them to bear iniquity and guilt, by eating their holy things: for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.”And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ Speak to Aaron and his sons and all the people of Israel and say to them, When any one of the house of Israel or of the sojourners in Israel presents a burnt offering as his offering, for any of their vows or freewill offerings that they offer to the Lord,if it is to be accepted for you it shall be a male without blemish, of the bulls or the sheep or the goats.You shall not offer anything that has a blemish, for it will not be acceptable for you.And when anyone offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from the herd or from the flock, to be accepted it must be perfect; there shall be no blemish in it.Animals blind or disabled or mutilated or having a discharge or an itch or scabs you shall not offer to the Lord or give them to the Lord as a food offering on the altar.You may present a bull or a lamb that has a part too long or too short for a freewill offering, but for a vow offering it cannot be accepted.Any animal that has its testicles bruised or crushed or torn or cut you shall not offer to the Lord; you shall not do it within your land,neither shall you offer as the bread of your God any such animals gotten from a foreigner. Since there is a blemish in them, because of their mutilation, they will not be accepted for you.”And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ When an ox or sheep or goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day on it shall be acceptable as a food offering to the Lord.But you shall not kill an ox or a sheep and her young in one day.And 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 morning: I am the Lord.“ So you shall keep my commandments and do them: I am the Lord.And you shall not profane my holy name, that I may be sanctified among the people of Israel. I am the Lord who sanctifies you,who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I am the Lord.”

And anyone who touches his bed shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening.And whoever sits on anything on which the one with the discharge has sat shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening.And whoever touches the body of the one with the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening.And if the one with the discharge spits on someone who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening.And any saddle on which the one with the discharge rides shall be unclean.And whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening. And whoever carries such things shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening.Anyone whom the one with the discharge touches without having rinsed his hands in water shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening.And an earthenware vessel that the one with the discharge touches shall be broken, and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.“ And when the one with a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes. And he shall bathe his body in fresh water and shall be clean.And on the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves or two pigeons and come before the Lord to the entrance of the tent of meeting and give them to the priest.And the priest shall use them, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord for his discharge.“ If a man has an emission of semen, he shall bathe his whole body in water and be unclean until the evening.And every garment and every skin on which the semen comes shall be washed with water and be unclean until the evening.If a man lies with a woman and has an emission of semen, both of them shall bathe themselves in water and be unclean until the evening.“ When a woman has a discharge, and the discharge in her body is blood, she shall be in her menstrual impurity for seven days, and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening.And everything on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean. Everything also on which she sits shall be unclean.And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening.And whoever touches anything on which she sits shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening.Whether it is the bed or anything on which she sits, when he touches it he shall be unclean until the evening.And if any man lies with her and her menstrual impurity comes upon him, he shall be unclean seven days, and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean.“ If a woman has a discharge of blood for many days, not at the time of her menstrual impurity, or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her impurity, all the days of the discharge she shall continue in uncleanness. As in the days of her impurity, she shall be unclean.Every bed on which she lies, all the days of her discharge, shall be to her as the bed of her impurity. And everything on which she sits shall be unclean, as in the uncleanness of her menstrual impurity.And whoever touches these things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening.But if she is cleansed of her discharge, she shall count for herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.And on the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves or two pigeons and bring them to the priest, to the entrance of the tent of meeting.And the priest shall use one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.
