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,
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,
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 .
except for his immediate
family—
his mother, father, son, daughter, or
brother ,
and
for
his sister ,
the
virgin,
who is near unto
him, who
hath
not
been
to
a
man;
for
her
he
is
defiled
.
or
his unmarried
sister who is near to
him, since
she
has
no
husband
.
`A
master
`priest'
doth
not defile himself among
his
people
--
to pollute
himself ;
He
is
not to
defile himself for
those
related
to him
by
marriage,
and
so
profane
himself .
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;
Priests
must
not make bald
spots
on their heads
, shave
off
the edges
of their beards
, or
make
cuts
in their bodies.
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.
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.
`
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 ;
A priest
must
not marry
a woman defiled
by
prostitution
or
divorced
by
her husband, for the
priest
is holy to his God .
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.
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
a daughter of
any
priest
when
she
polluteth
herself by going
a-whoring
--
her father she
is
polluting
; with
fire
she is
burnt
.
If
a priest’s
daughter defiles
herself by prostituting
herself,
she
profanes
her father; she must
be
burned
in
the
fire
.
`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 ,
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 .
nor
beside
any dead person
doth
he
come
; for
his
father
and
for
his
mother
he doth
not defile himself ;
He
must
not
go
near
any dead body
; he must
not defile himself ,
even
for
his
father
or
mother.
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
.
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
.
`And
he taketh
a wife
in
her
virginity;
The
woman
he marries
must
be
a virgin.
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
,
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,
and
he doth
not pollute
his seed
among his people ;
for I `
am '
Jehovah,
sanctifying
him. '
so
that
he does
not defile
his offspring
among his people ,
for I am the
LORD
who
sanctifies
him. ”
And
Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Moses, saying,
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
`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 ,
“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 .
for
no man in
whom
`is'
blemish
doth
draw
near
--
a
man blind, or
lame or
dwarfed
, or
enlarged
,
No man who
has
any
defect
may
approach—no
man who
is
blind, lame, disfigured
, or
deformed;
or
a
man in
whom
there
is
a breach
in
the
foot ,
or a
breach
in
the
hand,
no
man who
has
a broken
foot or hand,
or hump-backed,
or
a dwarf, or with
a
mixture
in
his
eye, or
a scurvy
person
, or
scabbed
, or broken-testicled
.
or who
is
a hunchback
or
dwarf, or who
has
an
eye defect
, a festering
rash
, scabs
, or a
crushed
testicle
.
`
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.
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
.
`Bread
of
his
God
--
of
the most holy things,
and
of the holy things
--
he
doth
eat;
He
may
eat
the most holy food
of his
God
as
well
as
the holy food,
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. '
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. ’”
And
Moses speaketh
unto
Aaron ,
and unto
his sons ,
and unto
all the sons
of
Israel
.
Moses told
this
to
Aaron and his sons and to
all the Israelites
.
