Leviticus
22 from Scroll 1Q3 PaleoLeviticus-Numbers
2 “Tell
Aaron and
his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of
Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.
3 “Tell
them,
‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout
your generations approaches the holy things, which the
children of Israel make holy
to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am
Yahweh.
4 “ ‘Whoever
of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. Whoever
touches anything that is unclean by the
dead, or a man whose offspring goes from him; 5 or
whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he
may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness,
whatever uncleanness he has; 6 and the person
that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of
the holy things, unless he bathes his body in water.

8 That
which dies of itself,
or is
torn by animals, he shall not eat, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.
9 “ ‘They
shall therefore follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they
profane it. I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.
10 “ ‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a
foreigner living with the priests, or a
hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 11 But if a priest
buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat
of it; and such as are born in his
house, they shall eat of his bread. 12 If a priest’s daughter is
married to an outsider, she shall not
eat of the heave offering of the holy things. 13 But if a priest’s daughter
is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and
has returned to her father’s house, as in
her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread: but no stranger shall eat any of it.
14 “ ‘If
a man eats something
holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part
of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
15 The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel,
which they offer to
Yahweh, 16 and so cause them
to bear the iniquity that brings guilt,
when they eat their holy things; for I am Yahweh who sanctifies
them.’ ”
17 Yahweh spoke to
Moses, saying, 18 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to
all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house
of Israel, or of the foreigners sojourning in Israel,
who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer
to Yahweh for a burnt offering; 19 that
you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without
defect, of the bulls, of the sheep,
or of the goats. 20 But whatever has a defect, that you shall not
offer; for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21 Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill
offering, of the herd or of the flock, it
shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall
have no defect. 22 Blind, injured, maimed, having a wart,
festering, or having a running sore or having crushed testicles: you shall not
offer these to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh. 23 Either a bull
or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his
parts, that you may offer for a
freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted. 24 You must not
offer to Yahweh that which has its
testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut.
You must not do this in your land. 25 You
must not offer the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner as any of these;
because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for
you.’ ”
26 Yahweh
spoke to Moses, saying,
27 “When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is born, then it shall remain seven days with its
mother; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the
offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 28 Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young
both in one day.
[..]
30 It
shall be eaten on
the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Yahweh.
31 “Therefore
you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am
Yahweh.
32 You shall not
profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of
Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy, 33 who brought you out of
the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am Yahweh.”
Leviticus
22 from Scroll 4Q25 Leviticusc
28 Whether
it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29 “When
you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you shall sacrifice
it so that you may be accepted.
