3 Mosebog 21
1 Og HERREN sagde til Moses: Tal til Præsterne, Arons Sønner, og sig til dem: Præsten maa ikke gøre sig uren ved Lig blandt sin Slægt,
AND the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
2 medmindre det er hans nærmeste kødelige Slægtninge, hans Moder eller Fader, hans Søn eller Datter, hans Broder
But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
3 eller Søster, for saa vidt hun var Jomfru og endnu hørte til hans Familie og ikke var gift; i saa Fald maa han gøre sig uren ved hende;
And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
4 men han maa ikke gøre sig uren ved hende, naar hun var gift med en Mand af hans Slægt, og saaledes paadrage sig Vanhelligelse.
But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 De maa ikke klippe sig en skaldet Plet paa deres Hoved, ikke studse deres Skæg eller gøre Indsnit i deres Legeme.
They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 Hellige skal de være for deres Gud og maa ikke vanhellige deres Guds Navn, thi de frembærer HERRENS Ildofre, deres Guds Spise; derfor skal de være hellige.
They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.
7 En Horkvinde og en skændet Kvinde maa de ikke ægte; heller ikke en Kvinde, der er forstødt af sin Mand, maa de ægte; thi han er helliget sin Gud.
They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God.
8 Du skal regne ham for hellig, thi han frembærer din Guds Spise; han skal være dig hellig, thi hellig er jeg HERREN, som helliger dem.
Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the Lord, which sanctify you, am holy.
9 Naar en Præstedatter vanhelliger sig ved at bedrive Hor, da vanhelliger hun sin Fader; hun skal brændes paa Baal.
And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
10 Den Præst, der er den ypperste blandt sine Brødre, han, over hvis Hoved Salveolien udgydes, og som indsættes ved at iføres Klæderne, maa hverken lade sit Hovedhaar vokse frit eller sønderrive sine Klæder.
And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;
11 Han maa ikke gaa hen til noget som helst Lig, end ikke ved sin Fader eller Moder maa han gøre sig uren.
Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
12 Han maa ikke forlade Helligdommen for ikke at vanhellige sin Guds Helligdom, thi hans Guds Salveolies Vielse er paa ham; jeg er HERREN!
Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.
13 Han skal ægte en Kvinde, der er Jomfru;
And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 en Enke, en forstødt, en skændet, en Horkvinde maa han ikke ægte, kun en Jomfru af sin Slægt maa han tage til Hustru,
A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.
15 for at han ikke skal vanhellige sit Afkom blandt sin Slægt; thi jeg er HERREN, som helliger ham.
Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the Lord do sanctify him.
16 HERREN talede fremdeles til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
17 Tal til Aron og sig: Ingen af dit Afkom i de kommende Slægter, som har en Legemsfejl, maa træde frem for at frembære sin Guds Spise,
Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 det maa ingen, som har en Legemsfejl, hverken en blind eller en halt eller en med vansiret Ansigt eller for lang en Legemsdel
For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
19 eller med Brud paa Ben eller Arm
Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
20 eller en pukkelrygget eller en med Tæring eller en, der har Pletter i Øjnene eller lider af Skab eller Ringorm eller har svulne Testikler.
Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
21 Af Præsten Arons Efterkommere maa ingen, som har en Legemsfejl, nærme sig for at frembære HERRENS Ildofre; han har en Legemsfejl, han maa ikke nærme sig for at frembære sin Guds Spise.
No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
22 Han maa vel spise sin Guds Spise, baade det, som er højhelligt, og det, som er helligt,
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23 men til Forhænget maa han ikke komme, og Alteret maa han ikke nærme sig, thi han har en Legemsfejl og maa ikke vanhellige mine hellige Ting; thi jeg er HERREN, som helliger dem.
Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the Lord do sanctify them.
24 Og Moses talte saaledes til Aron og hans Sønner og alle Israeliterne.
And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
