Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

Du sollst auch solcher keins von eines Fremdlings Hand als Brot eures Gottes opfern; denn es taugt nicht und hat einen Fehl; darum wird's nicht angenehm sein von euch.
Y de mano de hijo de extranjero no ofreceréis el pan de vuestro Dios de todas estas cosas; porque su corrupción está en ellas: hay en ellas falta, no se os aceptarán.
Tampoco de mano de un extranjero presentarán como alimento de su Dios ninguno de estos animales, porque están mutilados; tienen un defecto y no serán aceptados en su favor”».
Vous n'accepterez de l'étranger aucune de ces victimes, pour l'offrir comme aliment de votre Dieu; car elles sont mutilées, elles ont des défauts: elles ne seraient point agréées.
Nè prendetene alcuni di man degli stranieri, per offerirne cibo al Signore; perciocchè il lor vizio è in essi; v’è in essi difetto; non sarebbero graditi per voi.
Também da mão do estrangeiro nenhum alimento oferecereis ao vosso Deus, de todas estas coisas, pois a sua corrupção está nelas; defeito nelas há; não serão aceitas em vosso favor.
從外人的手裏得到任何這類的動物,也不可獻上作你們上帝的食物;因為牠們有缺陷,有殘疾,牠們必不為你們而蒙悅納。」
