In this way they will not dishonor my holy name. I am the LORD. | 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. | 2 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in the things that they hallow unto me: I am Jehovah. | 3 "Say to them, 'If any man among all your descendants throughout your generations approaches the holy gifts which the sons of Israel dedicate to the LORD, while he has an uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from before Me; I am the LORD. | 3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD. | 3 "Tell them: In future generations if any of your descendants, while unclean, comes near the holy offerings the Israelites set apart for the LORD, that person must be excluded from my presence. I am the LORD. | 3 "Tell them, 'If anyone of all your seed 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. | 3 Say unto them, Every one of all your seed, throughout your generations, that approacheth the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am Jehovah. | 4 No man of the descendants of Aaron, who is a leper or who has a discharge, may eat of the holy gifts until he is clean. And if one touches anything made unclean by a corpse or if a man has a seminal emission, | 4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him; | 4 "No descendant of Aaron who has a skin disease or a discharge may eat any of the holy offerings until he is clean. Any person who has an emission of semen or touches a dead body, | 4 "'Whoever of the seed 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 seed goes from him; | 4 Whatsoever man of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a flux, he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. And he that toucheth any one that is unclean by a dead person, or a man whose seed of copulation hath passed from him; | 5 or if a man touches any teeming things by which he is made unclean, or any man by whom he is made unclean, whatever his uncleanness; | 5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath; | 5 an unclean swarming creature, or an unclean person | 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; | 5 or a man that toucheth any crawling thing whereby he becometh unclean, or a man by whom he may become unclean, whatever may be his uncleanness, | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 a person who touches any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy gifts unless he has bathed his body in water. | 6 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water. | 6 will be unclean until evening. He must not eat any of the holy offerings unless he has washed himself. | 6 the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water. | 6 a person that toucheth any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things; but he shall bathe his flesh with water, | 7 But when the sun sets, he will be clean, and afterward he shall eat of the holy gifts, for it is his food. | 7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food. | 7 When the sun has set, he will be clean. Then he may eat the holy offerings because they are his food. | 7 When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread. | 7 and when the sun goeth down, he shall be clean, and may afterwards eat of the holy things; for it is his food. | 8 He shall not eat an animal which dies or is torn by beasts, becoming unclean by it; I am the LORD. | 8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith; I am the LORD. | 8 He must never eat the meat of an animal that dies naturally or is killed by wild animals. It will make him unclean. I am the LORD. | 8 That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh. | 8 Of a dead carcase and what is torn shall he not eat, to make himself unclean therewith: I am Jehovah. | 9 'They shall therefore keep My charge, so that they will not bear sin because of it and die thereby because they profane it; I am the LORD who sanctifies them. | 9 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them. | 9 The priests must do what I order, or their sin will bring them death because they dishonored a holy offering. I am the LORD, who sets them apart as holy. | 9 "'They shall therefore follow my requirements, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it. I am Yahweh who sanctifies them. | 9 And they shall keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die by it, if they profane it: I am Jehovah who do hallow them. | 10 No layman, however, is to eat the holy gift; a sojourner with the priest or a hired man shall not eat of the holy gift. | 10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. | 10 "Laypeople must never eat any holy offering, even if they are visiting a priest or are working for him. | 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. | 10 And no stranger shall eat the holy thing; the sojourner with the priest, and the hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |

A castrated animal will not be accepted on your behalf because castration is a physical defect." | 25 Neither shall you offer the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner of any of these; because their corruption is in them. There is a blemish in them. They shall not be accepted for you.'" | 25 Nor from the hand of the stranger shall ye present the bread of your God, of any of these; for their corruption is in them: a defect is in them; they shall not be accepted for you. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
