< 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.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, None [of them] shall defile himself on the dead, among his people;
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.
But on his kin, that is near unto him, [that is, ] on his mother, and on his father, and on his son, and on his daughter, and on his 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.
And on his sister that is a virgin, that is nigh unto him, who hath had no husband: on her may he defile himself.
4 Not he will make himself unclean a husband among kinspeople his to profane himself.
The chief man among his people shall not defile himself, to be profaned thereby.
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].
They shall not make any baldness upon their head, and the corner of their beard shall they not shave off, and in their flesh shall they not make any incision.
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.
Holy shall they be unto their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for the fire-offerings of the Lord, the bread of their God, do they offer, they shall therefore 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 woman that is a harlot, or one profaned, shall they not take; and a woman put away from her husband shall they not take; for holy is he unto 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.
And thou shalt sanctify him; for the bread of thy God doth he offer: holy shall he be unto thee; for I the Lord, who sanctify you, am holy.
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.
And if the daughter of any priest profane herself by committing incest, her father doth she profane: with fire shall she be burnt.
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.
And the priest that is highest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil hath been poured, and who hath been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head grow long, and his garments shall he not rend;
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.
Neither shall he go in to any dead body; even on his father, and on his mother shall he not defile himself.
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.
And out of the sanctuary shall he not go, that he may not profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.
13 And he a woman in virginiti her he will take.
And he shall take a wife in her virgin state.
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.
A widow, and a divorced woman, and one profaned, [and] a harlot, these shall he not take; but a virgin of his own people shall he take for wife;
15 And not he will profane offspring his among kinspeople his for I [am] Yahweh [who] sets apart as holy him.
So that he may not profane his seed among his people; for I, the Lord, do sanctify him.
16 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
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.
Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever of thy seed in their generations it be on whom there is any blemish, shall not approach to offer the bread 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.
For whatsoever man it be on whom there is a blemish, shall not approach: a blind, or a lame man, or one that hath a flattened nose, or a man one of whose limbs is too long,
19 Or a man whom it will be in him a fracture of a foot or a fracture of a hand.
Or a man who hath a broken foot, or a broken hand,
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.
Or a crookbacked, or a dwarf, or one that hath a blemish in his eye, or the itch, or the scurvy, or the testicles broken.
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.
Every man on whom there is a blemish, of the seed of Aaron the priest, shall not come nigh to offer the fire-offerings of the Lord: there is a blemish on him; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread 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.
The brewed of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy things he may eat.
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.
Only unto the vail, and unto the altar shall he not come nigh, because there is a blemish on him; that he profane not my holy things; for I the Lord do sanctify them.
24 And he spoke Moses to Aaron and to sons his and to all [the] people of Israel.
And Moses spoke thus unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
