And Jehovah said to Moses, Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, There shall none defile himself for a dead one (soul) among his peoples,
except for his kin that is near to him—for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother;
and for his sister a virgin, that is near to him, who hath had no husband, for her he may defile himself.
He shall not make himself unclean, [being] a chief among his peoples, to profane himself.
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.
They shall be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the fire-offerings of Jehovah, the bread of their God; therefore shall they be holy.
They shall not take to wife a harlot or one dishonoured; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy to his God.
And thou shalt sanctify him; for the bread of thy God he offereth; he shall be holy to thee; for I, Jehovah, who sanctify you, am holy.
And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the harlot, she profaneth her father; she shall be burnt with fire.
And the priest that is greater than his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head , nor rend his garments.
Neither shall he come near any person dead, nor make himself unclean for his father nor for his mother.
Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God [is] upon him: I [am] Jehovah.
And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
A widow or a divorced woman or one dishonoured, a harlot, these shall he not take; but he shall take as wife a virgin from among his peoples.
And he shall not profane his seed among his peoples; for I Jehovah sanctify him.
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Speak to Aaron, saying, Whoever of thy seed throughout their generations that hath a defect, he shall not approach to present the bread of his God.
For whatever man hath a defect, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or one limb longer than the other;
or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed;
or humpbacked, or a dwarf, or that hath a spot in his eye, or is scurvy or scabbed, or hath his testicles broken.
No man of the seed of Aaron the priest that hath defect shall come near to present Jehovah’s fire-offerings: he hath a defect; he shall not come near to present the bread of his God.
He shall eat the bread of his God, [both] of the most holy and of the holy.
Only he shall not come in unto the veil, nor shall he draw near unto the altar, for he hath a defect; that he profane not my holy things ; for I Jehovah sanctify them.
And Moses told [it] to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
