[1]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto MosesH4872, SpeakH559[H8798] unto the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and sayH559[H8804] unto them, There shall none be defiledH2930[H8691] for the deadH5315 among his peopleH5971:
[2]But for his kinH7607, that is nearH7138 unto him, that is, for his motherH517, and for his fatherH1, and for his sonH1121, and for his daughterH1323, and for his brotherH251,
[3]And for his sisterH269 a virginH1330, that is nighH7138 unto him, which hath had no husbandH376; for her may he be defiledH2930.[H8691]
[4]But he shall not defileH2930[H8691] himself, being a chief manH1167 among his peopleH5971, to profaneH2490 himselfH8736.
[5]They shall not makeH7139[H8799] baldnessH7144 upon their headH7218, neither shall they shave offH1548[H8762] the cornerH6285 of their beardH2206, nor makeH8295[H8799] any cuttingsH8296 in their fleshH1320.
[6]They shall be holyH6944 unto their GodH430, and not profaneH2490[H8762] the nameH8034 of their GodH430: for the offeringsH801 of the LORDH3068 made by fireH801, and the breadH3899 of their GodH430, they do offerH7126[H8688]: therefore they shall be holyH6918.
[7]They shall not takeH3947[H8799] a wifeH802 that is a whoreH2181[H8802], or profaneH2491; neither shall they takeH3947[H8799] a womanH802 put awayH1644[H8803] from her husbandH376: for he is holyH6918 unto his GodH430.
[8]Thou shalt sanctifyH6942[H8765] him therefore; for he offerethH7126[H8688] the breadH3899 of thy GodH430: he shall be holyH6918 unto thee: for I the LORDH3068, which sanctifyH6942[H8764] you, am holyH6918.
[9]And the daughterH1323 of anyH376 priestH3548, if she profaneH2490[H8735] herself by playing the whoreH2181[H8800], she profanethH2490[H8764] her fatherH1: she shall be burntH8313[H8735] with fireH784.
[10]And he that is the highH1419 priestH3548 among his brethrenH251, upon whose headH7218 the anointingH4888 oilH8081 was pouredH3332[H8714], and that is consecratedH4390[H8765][H3027] to putH3847[H8800] on the garmentsH899, shall not uncoverH6544[H8799] his headH7218, nor rendH6533[H8799] his clothesH899;
[11]Neither shall he go inH935[H8799] to any deadH4191[H8801] bodyH5315, nor defileH2930[H8691] himself for his fatherH1, or for his motherH517;
[12]Neither shall he go outH3318[H8799] of the sanctuaryH4720, nor profaneH2490[H8762] the sanctuaryH4720 of his GodH430; for the crownH5145 of the anointingH4888 oilH8081 of his GodH430 is upon him: I am the LORDH3068.
[13]And he shall takeH3947[H8799] a wifeH802 in her virginityH1331.
[14]A widowH490, or a divorced womanH1644[H8803], or profaneH2491, or an harlotH2181[H8802], these shall he not takeH3947[H8799]: but he shall takeH3947[H8799] a virginH1330 of his own peopleH5971 to wifeH802.
[15]Neither shall he profaneH2490[H8762] his seedH2233 among his peopleH5971: for I the LORDH3068 do sanctifyH6942 himH8764.
[16]And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696[H8762] unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,[H8800]
[17]SpeakH1696[H8761] unto AaronH175, sayingH559[H8800], WhosoeverH376 he be of thy seedH2233 in their generationsH1755 that hath any blemishH3971, let him not approachH7126[H8799] to offerH7126[H8687] the breadH3899 of his GodH430.
[18]For whatsoever manH376 he be that hath a blemishH3971, he shall not approachH7126[H8799]: a blindH5787 manH376, or a lameH6455, or he that hath a flat noseH2763[H8803], H8311or any thing superfluousH8803
[19]Or a manH376 that is brokenfootedH7667[H7272], H7667or brokenhandedH3027
[20]Or crookbacktH1384, or a dwarfH1851, or that hath a blemishH8400 in his eyeH5869, or be scurvyH1618, or scabbedH3217, or hath his stonesH810 brokenH4790;
[21]No manH376 that hath a blemishH3971 of the seedH2233 of AaronH175 the priestH3548 shall come nighH5066[H8799] to offerH7126[H8687] the offeringsH801 of the LORDH3068 made by fireH801: he hath a blemishH3971; he shall not come nighH5066[H8799] to offerH7126[H8687] the breadH3899 of his GodH430.
[22]He shall eatH398[H8799] the breadH3899 of his GodH430, both of the mostH6944 holyH6944, and of the holyH6944.
[23]Only he shall not go inH935[H8799] unto the vailH6532, nor come nighH5066[H8799] unto the altarH4196, because he hath a blemishH3971; that he profaneH2490[H8762] not my sanctuariesH4720: for I the LORDH3068 do sanctifyH6942 themH8764.
[24]And MosesH4872 toldH1696[H8762] it unto AaronH175, and to his sonsH1121, and unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
