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:
02 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.
03 And for his sister a virgin, that is
nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her
may he be defiled.
04 But he shall not defile himself, being a
chief man among his people, to profane himself.
05 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.
06 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.
07 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.
08 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.
09 And the daughter of any priest, if she
profane herself by playing the whore, she
profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with
fire.
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;
11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body,
nor defile himself for his father, or for his
mother;

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.
13 And he shall take a wife in her
virginity.
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.
15 Neither shall he profane his seed among
his people: for I the Lord do sanctify him.
16 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
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.
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,
19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or
brokenhanded,
20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath
a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed,
or hath his stones broken;
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.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both
of the most holy, and of the holy.
23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail,
nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a
blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for
I the Lord do sanctify them.
24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his
sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
