LE-21:1 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:
LE-21:2 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,
LE-21:3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him,
which hath had no
husband; for her may he be defiled.
LE-21:4 [But] he shall not defile himself, [being] a chief man
among his
people, to profane himself.
LE-21:5 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.
LE-21:6 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.
LE-21:7 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.
LE-21:8 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.
LE-21:9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself
by playing the
whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
LE-21:10 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;
LE-21:11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile
himself for his
father, or for his mother;
LE-21:12 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.
LE-21:13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
LE-21:14 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.
LE-21:15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people:
for I the LORD
do sanctify him.
LE-21:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LE-21:17 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.
LE-21:18 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,
LE-21:19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
LE-21:20 Or crookbacked, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in
his eye, or be
scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
LE-21:21 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.
LE-21:22 He shall eat the bread of his God, [both] of the most
holy, and of
the holy.
LE-21:23 Only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come nigh
unto the altar,
because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries:
for I the LORD
do sanctify them.
LE-21:24 And Moses told [it] unto Aaron, and to his sons, and
unto all the
children of Israel.
