¹⁷ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁸ `Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who bringeth near his offering, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to Jehovah for a burnt-offering;

¹⁹ at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, of the sheep or of the goats;

²⁰ nothing in which [is] blemish do ye bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing for you.

²¹ `And when a man bringeth near a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, to complete a vow, or for a willing-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it is perfect for a pleasing thing: no blemish is in it;

²² blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed -- ye do not bring these near to Jehovah, and a fire-offering ye do not make of them on the altar to Jehovah.

²³ `As to an ox or a sheep enlarged or dwarfed -- a willing-offering ye do make it, but for a vow it is not pleasing.

²⁴ As to a bruised, or beaten, or enlarged, or cut thing -- ye do not bring [it] near to Jehovah; even in your land ye do not do it.

²⁵ And from the hand of a son of a stranger ye do not bring near the bread of your God, of any of these, for their corruption [is] in them; blemish [is] in them; they are not pleasing for you.'

¹⁶ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁷ `Speak unto Aaron, saying, No man of thy seed to their generations in whom there is blemish doth draw near to bring near the bread of his God,

¹⁸ for no man in whom [is] blemish doth draw near -- a man blind, or lame or dwarfed, or enlarged,

¹⁹ or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,

²⁰ or hump-backed, or a dwarf, or with a mixture in his eye, or a scurvy person, or scabbed, or broken-testicled.

²¹ `No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) doth come nigh to bring near the fire-offerings of Jehovah; blemish [is] in him; the bread of his God he doth not come nigh to bring near.

²² `Bread of his God -- of the most holy things, and of the holy things -- he doth eat;

²³ only, unto the vail he doth not enter, and unto the altar he doth not draw nigh; for blemish [is] in him; and he doth not pollute My sanctuaries; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying them.'

²⁴ And Moses speaketh unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel.
