Chapter 22
17
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
18
Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the sons of Israel and say to them: Any man from the house of Israel or the stranger in Israel who offers his offering for all their vows and for all their voluntary offerings which they offer to the LORD as a burnt offering.
19
For your acceptance: an unblemished male from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats.
20
Every one that which has in it a defect you shall not present, for it will not be for acceptance for you.
21
And if a man offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to fulfill a vow or as a voluntary offering from the herd or from the flock, it shall be blameless to find favor; no defect shall be in it.
22
Blind or broken or severed or scabbed or scurvy or festering—you shall not offer these to the LORD, and you shall not make a fire offering from them on the altar to the LORD.
23
And an ox or a sheep that is sarua or qalut—you shall make it a nedavah, but for a neder he shall not accept it.
24
And that which is crushed or cut or torn or severed—you shall not present to the LORD, and in your land you shall not do it.
25
And from the son of a foreigner you shall not offer the bread of your God from any of these, for their corruption is in them; a defect is in them. They will not be accepted for you.
26
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying.
27
Ox or lamb or goat, when it is born, it shall be seven days under its mother, and from the eighth day and onward it shall be acceptable as a sacrifice of well-being to the LORD.
28
And whether an ox or a sheep, you shall not slaughter it and its offspring on the same day.
29
And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it according to your will.
30
On that day it shall be eaten—you shall not leave any of it until morning; I am the LORD.
31
You shall keep my commandments and do them; I am the LORD.
32
And do not profane my holy name, and I will be sanctified in the midst of the sons of Israel. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
33
the one who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be your God; I am the LORD.
Chapter 23
1
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying.
2
Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, "The appointed times of the LORD, which you shall proclaim as sacred convocations—these are my appointed times."
