Polyglot Bible: Leviticus: Leviticus 22

This is a biblical text presenting Leviticus 22 in a parallel, interlinear-style format across three versions: the King James Version (KJV) with Strong's concordance numbers appended to each word, the Septuagint (the ancient Greek translation, abbreviated "Sep"), and the Tanakh (the original Hebrew text, "Tan"). The chapter belongs to the Priestly Code tradition of the Hebrew Bible and consists of divine legislation delivered through Moses to Aaron and the Israelite community. Its central concern is the sanctity of sacred offerings — specifically, regulating who among the priesthood may eat holy food (excluding those with ritual impurity, skin disease, or bodily discharge), which family members of priests are permitted or forbidden access to sacred portions, and what constitutes an acceptable animal sacrifice (requiring physical wholeness, banning blemished, blind, injured, or castrated animals). A notable sub-theme is the prohibition against slaughtering an animal and its offspring on the same day, and the requirement that newborn animals remain with their mothers for seven days before being offered. The text grounds all these regulations in the holiness of God's name and Israel's covenantal identity, repeatedly invoking the formula "I am the LORD" as both authority and motivation. The interlinear presentation, with Strong's numbers in the KJV column, identifies this as a scholarly or study-Bible resource aimed at readers doing close comparative or word-level analysis across the Hebrew, Greek, and English traditions.
