LEV 21:1–21:24 ©

The Book of Leviticus 21

21And Yahweh said to Moses: “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘For a dead person he must not make himself unclean among his people. 2But if for his relative close to him—for his mother, or for his father, or for his son, or for his daughter, or for his brother, 3or for his virgin sister who is close to him since she has no husband, for her he may make himself unclean. 4He must not make himself unclean as a husband among his people, to profane himself.

5They must not shave a bald patch on their heads and they must not shave off the corner of their beard, and they must not cut a cut in their flesh. 6They must be holy ones to their God and they must not profane the name of their God. For they are offering Yahweh’s offerings made by fire, the bread of their God, so they must be holy. 7He must not take a woman who is a prostitute or profaned. And he must not take a woman divorced from her husband. For he is holy to his God.

8And you will make him holy, for he is the one who offers the bread of your God. He must be holy for you, because I, Yahweh who makes you holy, am holy.

9And a daughter of any priest who profanes herself by becoming a prostitute, she is profaning her father. In the fire she must be burned.

10And the great priest among his brothers, who has had the oil of anointing poured upon his head and has had his hand filled to wear the garments, he must not let his head be unbound and he must not tear his clothes. 11And he must not go near any dead person, for his father or for his mother. He must not make himself unclean. 12And he must not leave from the holy place and he must not profane the holy place of his God. For the dedication of the oil of the anointing of his God is upon him. I am Yahweh.

13And he must take a wife in her virginity. 14A widow, or a divorced woman, or a profaned prostitute—these he must not take. But rather, a virgin from his people he must take as a wife. 15And he will not profane his offspring among his people. For I am Yahweh who makes him holy.’”

16And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 17“Speak to Aaron, saying, ‘A man from your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect in him must not come near to offer food to his God. 18For any man who has in him a defect must not come near: a man blind or lame or who has a slit nose or who is deformed, 19or a man who has a broken foot or a broken hand, 20or a hunchback, or a dwarf, or one with a defect in his eye or eczema or scabs or a crushed testicle. 21Any man who has in him a defect among the offspring of Aaron the priest must not approach to offer Yahweh’s offerings made by fire. A defect is in him. He must not approach to offer the bread of his God. 22The food of his God, some of the holiest holy things and some of the holy things, he may eat. 23However, he must not go into the curtain and he must not approach to the altar. For a defect is in him and he must not profane my holy place. For I am Yahweh who makes them holy.’” 24And Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons and to all the sons of Israel.
