1 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto Moses 4872, Speak 559 unto the priests 3548 the sons 1121 of Aaron 175, and say 559 unto them, There shall none be defiled 2930 for the dead 5315 among his people 5971:
2 But for his kin 7607, that is near 7138 unto him, that is, for his mother 517, and for his father 1, and for his son 1121, and for his daughter 1323, and for his brother 251,
3 And for his sister 269 a virgin 1330, that is nigh 7138 unto him, which hath had no husband 376; for her may he be defiled 2930.
4 But he shall not defile 2930 himself, being a chief man 1167 among his people 5971, to profane 2490 himself.
5 They shall not make 7139 baldness 7144 upon their head 7218, neither shall they shave off 1548 the corner 6285 of their beard 2206, nor make 8295 any cuttings 8296 in their flesh 1320.
6 They shall be holy 6944 unto their God 430, and not profane 2490 the name 8034 of their God 430: for the offerings 801 0 of the LORD 3068 made by fire 801, and the bread 3899 of their God 430, they do offer 7126: therefore they shall be holy 6918.
7 They shall not take 3947 a wife 802 that is a whore 2181, or profane 2491; neither shall they take 3947 a woman 802 put away 1644 from her husband 376: for he is holy 6918 unto his God 430.
8 Thou shalt sanctify 6942 him therefore; for he offereth 7126 the bread 3899 of thy God 430: he shall be holy 6918 unto thee: for I the LORD 3068, which sanctify 6942 you, am holy 6918.
9 And the daughter 1323 of any 376 priest 3548, if she profane 2490 herself by playing the whore 2181, she profaneth 2490 her father 1: she shall be burnt 8313 with fire 784.
10 And he that is the high 1419 priest 3548 among his brethren 251, upon whose head 7218 the anointing 4888 oil 8081 was poured 3332, and that is consecrated 4390 3027 to put 3847 on the garments 899, shall not uncover 6544 his head 7218, nor rend 6533 his clothes 899;
11 Neither shall he go in 935 to any dead 4191 body 5315, nor defile 2930 himself for his father 1, or for his mother 517;
12 Neither shall he go out 3318 of the sanctuary 4720, nor profane 2490 the sanctuary 4720 of his God 430; for the crown 5145 of the anointing 4888 oil 8081 of his God 430 is upon him: I am the LORD 3068.
13 And he shall take 3947 a wife 802 in her virginity 1331.
14 A widow 490, or a divorced woman 1644, or profane 2491, or an harlot 2181, these shall he not take 3947: but he shall take 3947 a virgin 1330 of his own people 5971 to wife 802.
15 Neither shall he profane 2490 his seed 2233 among his people 5971: for I the LORD 3068 do sanctify 6942 him.
16 And the LORD 3068 spake 1696 unto Moses 4872, saying 559,
17 Speak 1696 unto Aaron 175, saying 559, Whosoever 376 he be of thy seed 2233 in their generations 1755 that hath any blemish 3971, let him not approach 7126 to offer 7126 the bread 3899 of his God 430.
18 For whatsoever man 376 he be that hath a blemish 3971, he shall not approach 7126: a blind 5787 man 376, or a lame 6455, or he that hath a flat nose 2763, or any thing superfluous 8311,
19 Or a man 376 that is brokenfooted 7667 7272, or brokenhanded 7667 3027,
20 Or crookbackt 1384, or a dwarf 1851, or that hath a blemish 8400 in his eye 5869, or be scurvy 1618, or scabbed 3217, or hath his stones 810 broken 4790;
21 No man 376 that hath a blemish 3971 of the seed 2233 of Aaron 175 the priest 3548 shall come nigh 5066 to offer 7126 the offerings 801 0 of the LORD 3068 made by fire 801: he hath a blemish 3971; he shall not come nigh 5066 to offer 7126 the bread 3899 of his God 430.
22 He shall eat 398 the bread 3899 of his God 430, both of the most 6944 holy 6944, and of the holy 6944.
23 Only he shall not go in 935 unto the vail 6532, nor come nigh 5066 unto the altar 4196, because he hath a blemish 3971; that he profane 2490 not my sanctuaries 4720: for I the LORD 3068 do sanctify 6942 them.
24 And Moses 4872 told 1696 it unto Aaron 175, and to his sons 1121, and unto all the children 1121 of Israel 3478.
