Young's Literal Translation
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses, “
Speak to
Aaron’s
sons,
the priests, and tell
them that
a priest is not to
defile
himself
for
a
dead
person
among his people,
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
Moses, `
Speak unto
the priests, sons
of
Aaron,
and thou
hast
said
unto
them ,
For
`any'
person
`
a priest '
is not defiled
among his people,
except for his immediate
family—
his mother, father, son, daughter, or
brother ,
except for his relation
who
`is'
near
unto
him
--
for
his mother, and
for
his
father, and
for
his
son, and
for
his
daughter, and
for
his
brother .
or
his unmarried
sister who is near to
him, since
she
has
no
husband
.
and
for
his sister ,
the
virgin,
who is near unto
him, who
hath
not
been
to
a
man;
for
her
he
is
defiled
.
He
is
not to
defile himself for
those
related
to him
by
marriage,
and
so
profane
himself .
`A
master
`priest'
doth
not defile himself among
his
people
--
to pollute
himself ;
Priests
must
not make bald
spots
on their heads
, shave
off
the edges
of their beards
, or
make
cuts
in their bodies.
they
do
not make baldness
on their head
, and
the corner
of their beard
they
do
not
shave
, and
in their flesh
they
do
not
make
a
cutting;
They must
be
holy to their God and not profane
the name of their God .
Because
they
present
to
the
LORD
the offerings
made
by
fire, the
food
of their God, they must
be
holy.
they are
holy to their God ,
and they
pollute
not the name of their God ,
for
the fire -offerings
of
Jehovah
, bread
of their God, they are
bringing
near,
and
have
been
holy.
A priest
must
not marry
a woman defiled
by
prostitution
or
divorced
by
her husband, for the
priest
is holy to his God .
`
A woman,
a
harlot,
or
polluted,
they
do
not take,
and
a woman cast
out
from
her husband they
do
not
take
, for he
`
is '
holy to his God ;
You
are
to
regard
him as
holy
, since
he
presents
the food
of your
God .
He shall
be
holy to you,
because
I
the
LORD
am
holy —
I who
set
you apart
.
and
thou
hast
sanctified
him, for
the bread
of thy
God he is
bringing
near;
he
is
holy to thee;
for
holy `am'
I ,
Jehovah,
sanctifying
you.
If
a priest’s
daughter defiles
herself by prostituting
herself,
she
profanes
her father ;
she must
be
burned
in
the
fire.
`And
a daughter of
any
priest
when
she
polluteth
herself by going
a-whoring
--
her father she is
polluting;
with
fire she
is
burnt
.
The priest who
is
highest
among
his brothers
, who
has
had
the anointing oil poured
on
his
head
and has
been
ordained
to wear
the priestly
garments, must
not
let
his hair
hang
loose
or
tear
his garments .
`And
the high
priest of
his brethren
, on
whose
head
is
poured
the anointing oil ,
and hath
consecrated
his
hand
to put
on
the garments, his head
doth
not
uncover,
nor
rend
his garments ,
He
must
not
go
near
any dead body;
he must
not
defile
himself,
even
for his father or
mother .
nor
beside
any dead person
doth
he come;
for his father and
for
his
mother he
doth
not
defile
himself;
He must
not
leave
or
desecrate
the sanctuary of his God, for the consecration
of the anointing oil of his God is on him .
I am the
LORD
.
nor
from
the
sanctuary
doth
he go
out,
nor
doth
he
pollute
the sanctuary of his God, for the separation
of the anointing oil of his God `
is '
on him ;
I `
am '
Jehovah
.
The
woman
he marries
must
be
a virgin.
`And
he taketh
a wife
in
her
virginity;
He
is
not
to
marry
a
widow, a
divorced
woman
, or one defiled
by
prostitution.
He is
to
marry
a virgin from
his own people,
widow, or
cast
out
, or polluted
one --
a
harlot
--
these
he doth
not
take,
but
a virgin of
his own people he
doth
take
`for'
a
wife
,
so
that
he does
not defile
his offspring
among his people ,
for I am the
LORD
who
sanctifies
him. ”
and
he doth
not pollute
his seed
among his people ;
for I `
am '
Jehovah,
sanctifying
him. '
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
And
Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Moses, saying,
“Say
to
Aaron, ‘For
the
generations
to
come
, none
of your
descendants
who
has
a
physical
defect
may
approach
to offer
the food
of his God .
`Speak
unto
Aaron, saying
, No
man
of thy
seed
to their
generations
in
whom
there
is
blemish
doth
draw
near
to
bring
near
the bread
of his God ,
No
man
who
has
any
defect
may
approach—
no man who
is blind, lame ,
disfigured
, or deformed;
for
no man in
whom
`
is '
blemish
doth
draw
near
--
a
man
blind, or
lame or
dwarfed
, or enlarged,
no
man who
has
a broken
foot or hand,
or
a
man in
whom
there
is
a breach
in
the
foot ,
or a
breach
in
the
hand,
or who
is
a
hunchback
or dwarf, or who
has
an
eye defect
, a festering
rash
, scabs
, or a
crushed
testicle
.
or hump-backed,
or a
dwarf, or with
a
mixture
in
his
eye, or
a scurvy
person
, or
scabbed
, or broken-testicled
.
No descendant
of Aaron the priest who
has
a
defect
shall
approach
to present
the offerings
made
by
fire to
the
LORD.
Since
he
has
a
defect,
he
is not
to
come
near
to
offer
the food
of his God.
`
No man
in
whom
is
blemish
(
of the
seed
of
Aaron the priest )
doth
come
nigh
to bring
near
the fire -offerings
of
Jehovah;
blemish
`
is '
in
him;
the bread
of his God he
doth
not
come
nigh
to
bring
near
.
He
may
eat
the
most
holy
food
of his God as
well
as
the holy food
,
`Bread
of his God --
of
the most
holy things
, and
of
the
holy
things
--
he
doth
eat;
but
because
he
has
a
defect
, he must
not go
near
the
veil
or
approach
the altar ,
so
as
not to
desecrate
My sanctuaries .
For I am the
LORD
who
sanctifies
them. ’”
only
, unto
the
vail
he doth
not enter,
and
unto
the altar he
doth
not draw
nigh;
for
blemish
`is'
in
him;
and
he
doth
not
pollute
My sanctuaries ;
for I `
am '
Jehovah,
sanctifying
them. '
Moses told
this
to
Aaron and his sons and to
all the Israelites
.
And
Moses speaketh
unto
Aaron ,
and unto
his sons ,
and unto
all the sons
of
Israel
.
