\c 21

\p

\v 1 Yahweh said to Moses: "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, 'No one among you shall make himself unclean for those who die among his people,
|
|
\v 2 except for his closest relatives—his mother, his father, his son, his daughter, his brother,
|
|
\v 3 or his virgin sister who has no husband—he may make himself unclean for her.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 4 But he must not make himself unclean for other relatives and so defile himself.
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 5 Priests must not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards, nor cut their bodies.
|
|
\v 6 They must be separate for their God, and not disgrace the name of their God, because the priests will make burnt offerings to Yahweh, the food for their God. Therefore the priests must be separate.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 7 They must not marry any woman who is a prostitute and who is defiled, and they must not marry a woman divorced from her husband, for they are separate for their God.
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 8 You will set him apart, for he offers the burnt offering of food to your God. He must be holy to you, because—I, Yahweh, who makes you holy—I also am holy.
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 9 Any daughter of any priest who defiles herself by becoming a prostitute disgraces her father. She must be burned.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 10 He who is the high priest among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil has been poured, and who has been consecrated to wear the special garments of the high priest, must not wear his hair loose or tear his clothes.
|
|
\v 11 He must not go anywhere that a dead body is present and defile himself, even for his father or his mother.
|
|
\v 12 The high priest must not leave the sanctuary area of the tabernacle or profane the sanctuary of his God, because he has been consecrated as high priest by the anointing oil of his God. I am Yahweh.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 13 The high priest must marry a virgin as his wife.
|
|
\v 14 He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, or a woman who is a prostitute. He will not marry these kinds of women. He may only marry a virgin from his own people,
|
|
\v 15 so he will not defile his children among his people, for I am Yahweh, who makes him holy.'"

\v 16 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
|
|
\v 17 "Speak to Aaron and tell him, 'Whoever of your descendants throughout their generations has a bodily defect, he must not approach to offer the food to his God.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 18 Any man who has a bodily defect must not approach Yahweh, such as a blind man, a lame man, one who is disfigured or deformed,
|
|
\v 19 a man with a crippled hand or foot,
|
|
\v 20 hunchbacked or dwarfed man, or a man with a defect in his eyes, or with a disease, sore, scabs, or damaged private parts.
|
|
\v 21 No man among the descendants of Aaron the priest with a bodily defect may come near to perform the offerings made by fire for Yahweh. Such a man has a bodily defect; he must not come near to offer the food to his God.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 22 He may eat the food of his God, whether some of the most holy or some of the holy.
|
|
\v 23 However, he must not enter inside the curtain or come near the altar, because he has a bodily defect, so that he does not defile my holy place, for I am Yahweh, who makes them holy.'"
|
|
\v 24 So Moses spoke these words to Aaron, to his sons, and to all the people of Israel.
