CHAPTER 21
And the L
ORD
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:
2
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,
3
And
for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
4
But
he shall not defile himself,
being
a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5
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.
6
They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of
their God: for the offerings of the L
ORD
made by fire,
and
the bread of their God, they do offer:
therefore they shall be holy.
7
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.
8
Thou shalt sanctify
him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the L
ORD
, which
sanctify you,
am
holy.
9
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 L
ORD
.
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 L
ORD
do sanctify him.
16
And the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
do sanctify them.
24
And Moses
told
it
unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
