And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to Moses,H4872 SpeakH559 to the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of Aaron,H175 and sayH559 to them, There shall noneH3808 be defiledH2930 for the deadH5315 among his people:H5971
2
But for his kin,H7607 that is nearH7138 to him, that is, for his mother,H517 and for his father,H1 and for his son,H1121 and for his daughter,H1323 and for his brother.H251
3
And for his sisterH269 a virgin,H1330 that is nearH7138 to him, whichH834 has hadH1961 noH3808 husband;H376 for her may he be defiled.H2930
4
But he shall not defileH2930 himself, being a chiefH1167 manH1167 among his people,H5971 to profaneH2490 himself.
5
They shall not make baldnessH7144 on their head,H7218 neitherH3808 shall they shaveH1548 off the cornerH6285 of their beard,H2206 norH3808 make any cuttingsH8296 in their flesh.H1320
6
They shall be holyH6918 to their God,H430 and not profaneH2490 the nameH8034 of their God:H430 for the offerings of the LORDH3068 made by fire, and the breadH3899 of their God,H430 they do offer:H7126 therefore they shall be holy.H6944
7
They shall not takeH3947 a wifeH802 that is a whore,H2181 or profane;H2491 neitherH3808 shall they takeH3947 a womanH802 putH1644 away from her husband:H376 for he is holyH6918 to his God.H430
8
You shall sanctifyH6942 him therefore; for he offersH7126 the breadH3899 of your God:H430 he shall be holyH6918 to you: for I the LORD,H3068 which sanctifyH6942 you, am holy.H6918
9
And the daughterH1323 of anyH376 priest,H3548 ifH3588 she profaneH2490 herself by playing the whore,H2181 she profanesH2490 her father:H1 she shall be burntH8313 with fire.H784
10
And he that is the highH1419 priestH3548 among his brothers,H251 on whoseH834 headH7218 the anointingH4888 oilH8081 was poured,H3332 and that is consecratedH3027 to putH3847 on the garments,H899 shall not uncoverH6544 his head,H7218 norH3808 rendH6533 his clothes;H899
11
NeitherH3808 shall he goH935 in to anyH3605 deadH4191 body,H5315 norH3808 defileH2930 himself for his father,H1 or for his mother;H517
12
NeitherH3808 shall he goH3318 out of the sanctuary,H4720 norH3808 profaneH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of his God;H430 for the crownH5145 of the anointingH4888 oilH8081 of his GodH430 is on him: I am the LORD.H3068
13
And he shall takeH3947 a wifeH802 in her virginity.H1331
14
A widow,H490 or a divorcedH1644 woman, or profane,H2491 or an harlot,H2181 theseH428 shall he not take:H3947 but he shall takeH3947 a virginH1330 of his own peopleH5971 to wife.H802
15
NeitherH3808 shall he profaneH2490 his seedH2233 among his people:H5971 for I the LORDH3068 do sanctifyH6942 him.
16
And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to Moses,H4872 saying,H559
17
SpeakH1696 to Aaron,H175 saying,H559 WhoeverH376 H834 he be of your seedH2233 in their generationsH1755 that hasH1961 any blemish,H3971 let him not approachH7126 to offerH7126 the breadH3899 of his God.H430
18
For whateverH3605 manH376 he be that has a blemish,H3971 he shall not approach:H7126 a blindH5787 man,H376 orH176 a lame,H6455 orH176 he that has a flatH2763 nose,H2763 orH176 any thing superfluous,H8311
19
OrH176 a manH376 that is broken footed,H7667 H7272 orH176 broken handed,H7667
20
OrH176 hunch back,H1384 orH176 a dwarf,H1851 orH176 that has a blemishH8400 in his eye,H5869 or be scurvy,H1618 orH176 scabbed,H3217 orH176 has his stonesH810 broken;H4790
21
No manH376 that has a blemishH3971 of the seedH2233 of AaronH175 the priestH3548 shall comeH5066 nearH5066 to offerH7126 the offerings of the LORDH3068 made by fire: he has a blemish;H3971 he shall not comeH5066 nearH5066 to offerH7126 the breadH3899 of his God.H430
22
He shall eatH398 the breadH3899 of his God,H430 both of the mostH6944 holy,H6944 and of the holy.H6944
23
OnlyH389 he shall not goH935 in to the veil,H6532 norH3808 comeH5066 nearH5066 to the altar,H4196 becauseH3588 he has a blemish;H3971 that he profaneH2490 not my sanctuaries:H4720 for I the LORDH3068 do sanctifyH6942 them.
24
And MosesH4872 toldH1696 it to Aaron,H175 and to his sons,H1121 and to allH3605 the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478
