Book 03 Leviticus Chapter 021

 

021:001And 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:

 

021:002But 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.

 

021:003And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath
had no husband; for her may he be defiled.

 

021:004But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his
people, to profane himself.

 

021:005They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall
they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any
cuttings in their flesh.

 

021:006They 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.

 

021:007They 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.

 

021:008Thou 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.

 

021:009And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by
playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be
burnt with fire.

 

021:010And 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;

 

021:011Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself
for his father, or for his mother;

 

021:012Neither 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.

 

021:013And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

 

021:014A 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.

 

021:015Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the
LORD do sanctify him.

 

021:016And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

 

021:017Speak 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.

 

021:018For 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,

 

021:019Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,

 

021:020Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye,
or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;

 

021:021No 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.

 

021:022He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and
of the holy.

 

021:023Only 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.

 

021:024And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all
the children of Israel.
