You shall sanctify him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I, the Lord , who sanctify you, am holy.

He shall not go in to any dead bodies nor make himself unclean, even for his father or for his mother.

He shall not go out of the sanctuary, lest he profane the sanctuary of his God, for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is on him: I am the Lord .

For no one who has a blemish shall draw near, a man blind or lame, or one who has a mutilated face or a limb too long,

"Speak to Aaron and his sons and all the people of Israel and say to them, When any one of the house of Israel or of the sojourners in Israel presents a burnt offering as his offering, for any of their vows or freewill offerings that they offer to the Lord ,

You shall not offer anything that has a blemish, for it will not be acceptable for you.

You may present a bull or a lamb that has a part too long or too short for a freewill offering, but for a vow offering it cannot be accepted.

And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord ; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before the Lord , with the two lambs. They shall be holy to the Lord for the priest.
