And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, That they hold sacredly aloof from the holy things of the sons of Israel, so as not to profane my holy name, - in the things which they are hallowing unto me - I, am Yahweh.

Say unto them - Unto your generations, as touching any man who cometh near from among any of your seed, unto the hallowed things which the sons of Israel may hallow unto Yahweh, while his uncleanness is upon him, then shall that person be cut off from before me - I, am Yahweh.

No man soever of the seed of Aaron who is a leper, or hath a flux, shall eat of the holy things, until he be clean, - And as for him who toucheth anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;

or a man who toucheth any creeping thing, which is unclean to him, - or toucheth any human being who hath uncleanness, to the extent of any thing that maketh him unclean,

any person who toucheth any such, shall then be unclean until the evening, - and shall not eat of the hallowed things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.

When the sun tooth in, then is he clean, - and thereafter, he may eat of the hallowed things, for, his food, it is.

That which dieth of itself or is torn in pieces, shall he not eat to make himself unclean thereby, - I, am Yahweh.

Therefore shall they keep my charge, and shall not bear, for it, sin, and die therein, when they profane it, - I - Yahweh, am hallowing them.

And, no stranger, shall eat what is hallowed, - neither, one who dwelleth with a priest nor a hireling shall eat what is hallowed.

But when, a priest, buyeth any person, as the purchase of his silver, he may eat thereof, - and, the children of his household, they, may eat of his food.

And, when, a priest's daughter, belongeth to a husband, who is a stranger, she, of the heave-offering of the hallowed things, may not eat.

But, when a priest's daughter, cometh to be a widow or divorced and hath no seed, and so she returneth unto the house of her father, as in her youth, of the food of her father, she may eat, - but no stranger, shall eat thereof.

And, when, any man, eateth what is hallowed, by mistake, then shall he add the fifth part of it thereunto, and give unto the priest the hallowed thing:

So shall they not profane the hallowed things of the sons of Israel, - which they heave up unto Yahweh;

nor cause them to bear guilty iniquity, when they eat their hallowed things, - For, I - Yahweh, am hallowing them.
