Leviticus 21

1 And he said Yahweh to Moses say to the priests [the] sons of Aaron and you will say to them for a corpse not he will make himself unclean among kinspeople his.

The Lord told Moses, “Tell Aaron's sons, the priests: A priest is not to make himself unclean by touching the dead body of any of his relatives.

2 That except for relative his near to him for mother his and for father his and for son his and for daughter his and for brother his.

The only exceptions are for his immediate family. This includes his mother, father, son, daughter, or brother,

3 And for sister his the virgin near to him who not she has belonged to a husband for her he will make himself unclean.

or his unmarried sister since she is a close relative because she doesn't have a husband.

4 Not he will make himself unclean a husband among kinspeople his to profane himself.

He must not make himself unclean for those only related to him by marriage—he is not to make himself ceremonially impure.

5 Not (they will make bald *Q(k)*) baldness on head their and [the] side of beard their not they will shave and in flesh their not they will cut cut[s].

Priests are not to shave bald spots on their heads, trim the sides of their beards, or cut their bodies.

6 Holy they will be to God their and not they will profane [the] name of God their for [the] fire offerings of Yahweh [the] food of God their they [are] presenting and they will be a holy thing.

They must be holy to their God and not disgrace their God's reputation. They are the one who present the food offerings to the Lord, the food of their God. Consequently they must be holy.

7 A woman a prostitute and a [woman] profaned not they will take and a woman divorced from husband her not they will take for [is] holy he to God his.

A priest is not to marry a woman made unclean through prostitution or who is divorced by her husband, for the priest must be holy to his God.

8 And you will set apart as holy him for [the] food of God your he [is] presenting holy he will be to you for [am] holy I Yahweh [who] sets apart as holy you.

You shall consider him holy because he presents the food offerings to your God. He shall be holy to you, because I am holy. I am the Lord, and I chose you as my special people.

9 And a daughter of a man a priest if she will profane herself by acting as a prostitute father her she [is] profaning with fire she will be burned.

A priest's daughter who makes herself unclean through prostitution makes her father unclean. She must be executed by burning.

10 And the priest great more than brothers his whom it was poured on head his - [the] oil of anointing and he has filled hand his to wear the garments head his not he will let loose and garments his not he will tear.

The high priest has the highest place among the other priests. He has been anointed with olive oil poured on his head and has been ordained to wear the priestly clothing. He must not leave his hair uncombed or tear his clothes.

11 And to any corpses of a dead [person] not he will go for father his and for mother his not he will make himself unclean.

He is not to go near any dead body. He must not make himself unclean, even it is for his own father or mother.

12 And from the sanctuary not he will go out and not he will profane [the] sanctuary of God his for [the] consecration of [the] oil of anointing of God his [is] on him I [am] Yahweh.

He must not leave to deal with someone who has died or make the sanctuary of his God unclean because he has been dedicated by the anointing oil of his God. I am the Lord.

13 And he a woman in virginiti her he will take.

He can only marry a virgin.

14 A widow and a divorced [woman] and a [woman] profaned a prostitute these not he will take that except a virgin from kinspeople his he will take a wife.

He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, or one made unclean through prostitution. He has to marry a virgin from his own people,

15 And not he will profane offspring his among kinspeople his for I [am] Yahweh [who] sets apart as holy him.

so that he doesn't make his children unclean among his people, for I am the Lord who makes him holy.”

16 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.

The Lord told Moses,

17 Speak to Aaron saying a man from offspring your to generations their whom it will be in him a blemish not he will draw near to present [the] food of God his.

“Tell Aaron: These rules apply for all future generations. If any of your descendants has a physical defect, he is not allowed to come and present the food offerings of his God.

18 For any man whom [is] in him a blemish not he will draw near a man blind or lame or [having] a slit nose or [having] something enlarged.

No man is allowed to do this if he has any defects, including anyone who is blind, crippled, facially disfigured, or has deformities,

19 Or a man whom it will be in him a fracture of a foot or a fracture of a hand.

anyone who has a broken foot or arm,

20 Or a [man] hunchbacked or a [man] thin or a defect in eye his or eczema or scabs or a [man] crushed of testicle.

anyone who is a hunchback or dwarf, or who has cataracts, skin sores or scabs, or a damaged testicle.

21 Any man whom [is] in him a blemish from [the] offspring of Aaron the priest not he will draw near to present [the] fire offerings of Yahweh a blemish [is] in him [the] food of God his not he will draw near to present.

No descendant of Aaron the priest who has a defect is allowed to come and present the food offerings to the Lord. Because he has a defect, he must not come and offer the food of his God.

22 [the] food of God his from [the] holy things of the holy things and from the holy things he will eat.

He is still allowed to eat the food from the Most Holy Place of his God and also from the sanctuary,

23 Nevertheless to the curtain not he will go and to the altar not he will draw near for a blemish [is] in him and not he will profane sanctuary my for I [am] Yahweh [who] sets apart as holy them.

but because he has a defect, he is not allowed to go near the curtain or the altar, so that my sanctuary and everything in it are not made unclean, because I am the Lord who makes them holy.”

24 And he spoke Moses to Aaron and to sons his and to all [the] people of Israel.

Moses repeated this to Aaron and his sons, and to all the Israelites.
