1 And the LORD [Yahweh] said to Moses, Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and say to them, There will none be defiled for the dead among his people:
2 But for his kin, that is near to him, [that is], for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
3 And for his sister a virgin, that is near to him, which has had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
4 [But] he will not defile himself, [being] a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 They will not make baldness upon their head, neither will they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 They will be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD [Yahweh] made by fire, [and] the bread of their God, they offer: therefore they will be holy.
7 They will not take a wife [that is] a whore, or profane; neither will they take a woman put away from her husband: for he [is] holy to his God.
8 You will sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God: he will be holy to you: for I the LORD [Yahweh], which sanctify you, [am] holy.
9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profanes her father: she will be burnt with fire.
10 And [he that is] the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, will not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;
11 Neither will he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
12 Neither will 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 [Yahweh].
13 And he will take a wife in her virginity.
14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, [or] a harlot, these will he not take: but he will take a virgin of his own people to wife.
15 Neither will he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD [Yahweh] sanctify him.
16 And the LORD [Yahweh] spoke to Moses, saying,
17 Speak to Aaron, saying, Whosoever [he be] of your seed in their generations that has [any] blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 For whatever man [he be] that has a blemish, he will not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that has a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that has a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or has his stones broken;
21 No man that has a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest will come near to offer the offerings of the LORD [Yahweh] made by fire: he has a blemish; he will not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22 He will eat the bread of his God, [both] of the most holy, and of the holy.
23 Only he will not go in to the vail, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD [Yahweh] sanctify them.
24 And Moses told [it] to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
