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 YHWH says to Moses, “Speak to the priests, sons of Aaron, and you have said to them: No one defiles himself for a [dead] person 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.

except for his relation who [is] near to him: for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for 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 for his sister, the virgin, who is near to him, who has not been to a man; he is defiled for her.

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

A master [priest] does not defile himself among his people—to defile himself;

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 do not make baldness on their head, and they do not shave the corner of their beard, and they do not make a cutting in their flesh;

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 are holy to their God, and they do not defile the Name of their God, for the fire-offerings of YHWH, bread of their God, they are bringing near, and have been 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.

They do not take a woman of harlotry, or defiled, and they do not take a woman cast out from her husband, for he [is] 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.

and you have sanctified him, for he is bringing the bread of your God near. He is holy to you, for I, YHWH, sanctifying 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 when a daughter of any priest defiles herself by going whoring—she is defiling her father; she is burned with fire.

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 high priest of his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who has consecrated his hand to put on the garments, does not uncover his head, nor tear his garments,

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.

nor does he come beside any dead person; he does not defile himself for his father and for his 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.

nor does he go out from the sanctuary, nor does he defile the sanctuary of his God, for the separation of the anointing oil of his God [is] on him; I [am] YHWH.

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

And he takes a wife in her virginity;

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, or cast out, or defiled, [or] a harlot—these he does not take, but he takes a virgin of his own people [for] a wife,

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

and he does not defile his seed among his people; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying him.”

16 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.

And YHWH speaks to 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 to Aaron, saying, No man of your seed throughout their generations in whom there is blemish draws near to bring the bread of his God near,

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 no man in whom [is] a blemish draws near: a man blind, or lame, or disfigured, or deformed,

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

or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the 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 hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or [with] a defect in his eye, or [with] an itch, or [with] a scab, or [with] a broken 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 man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) comes near to bring the fire-offerings of YHWH near; blemish [is] in him; he does not come near to bring the bread of his God near.

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

Bread of his God—from the most holy things and from the holy things—he eats;

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, he does not come toward the veil, and he does not draw near to the altar; for blemish [is] in him; and he does not defile My sanctuaries; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying them.”

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

And Moses speaks to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
