1
Then the LORD
said
to Moses,
"Speak
to the priests,
the sons
of Aaron,
and say
to them: 'No
one shall defile
himself for a dead person
among his people,
2
except
for his relatives
who are nearest
to him, his mother
and his father
and his son
and his daughter
and his brother,
3
also for his virgin
sister,
who is near
to him because
she has had
no
husband;
for her he may defile
himself.
4
'
He shall not defile
himself as a relative by marriage
among his people,
and so profane
himself.
5
'
They shall not make any baldness
on their heads,
nor
shave off
the edges
of their beards,
nor
make any cuts
in their flesh.
6
'
They shall be holy
to their God
and not profane
the name
of their God,
for they present
the offerings by fire
to the LORD,
the food
of their God;
so they shall be holy.
7
'
They shall not take
a woman
who is profaned
by harlotry,
nor
shall they take
a woman
divorced
from her husband;
for he is holy
to his God.
8
'
You shall consecrate
him, therefore, for he offers
the food
of your God;
he shall be holy
to you; for I the LORD,
who sanctifies
you, am holy.
9
'
Also the daughter
of any
priest,
if
she profanes
herself by harlotry,
she profanes
her father;
she shall be burned
with fire.
10
'
The priest
who is the highest
among
his brothers,
on whose
head
the anointing
oil
has been poured
and who has been consecrated
to wear
the garments,
shall not uncover
his
head
nor
tear
his clothes;
11
nor
shall he approach
any
dead
person,
nor
defile
himself even for his father
or his mother;
12
nor
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 on him; I am the LORD.
13
'
He shall take
a wife
in her virginity.
14
'
A widow,
or a divorced
woman, or one who is profaned
by harlotry,
these
he may not take;
but rather
he is to marry
a virgin
of his own people,
15
so that he will not profane
his offspring
among his people;
for I am the LORD
who sanctifies
him.'"
16
Then the LORD
spoke
to Moses,
saying,
17
"Speak
to Aaron,
saying,
'No
man
of your offspring
throughout their generations
who
has
a defect
shall approach
to offer
the food
of his God.
18
For no
one
who
has a defect
shall approach:
a blind
man,
or
a lame
man,
or
he
who
has a disfigured
face,
or
any deformed
limb,
19
or
a man
who
has
a
broken
foot
or
broken
hand,
20
or
a hunchback
or
a dwarf,
or
one who has a defect
in his eye
or
eczema
or
scabs
or
crushed
testicles.
21
No
man
among
the descendants
of Aaron
the priest
who
has a defect
is to come
near
to offer
the LORD'S
offerings by fire;
since he
has a defect
,
he shall not come
near
to offer
the food
of his God.
22
He may eat
the food
of his God,
both of the most
holy
and of the
holy
,
23
only
he shall not go
in to the veil
or come near
the altar
because
he has a defect,
so that he will not profane
My sanctuaries.
For I am the LORD
who sanctifies
them.'"
24
So Moses
spoke
to Aaron
and to his sons
and to all
the sons
of Israel.
