Dual Panel1The Lord <03068> said <0559> to <0413> Moses <04872>: “Say <0559> to <0413> the priests <03548>, the sons <01121> of Aaron <0175>– say <0559> to <0413> them, ‘For a dead person <05315> no <03808> priest is to defile <02930> himself among his people <05971>,
2except <0518> for <03588> his close relative <07607> who is near <07138> to <0413> him: his mother <0517>, his father <01>, his son <01121>, his daughter <01323>, his brother <0251>,
3and his virgin <01330> sister <0269> who is near <07138> to <0413> him, who <0834> has <01961> no <03808> husband <0376>; he may defile <02930> himself for her.
4He must not <03808> defile <02930> himself as a husband <01167> among his people <05971> so as to profane <02490> himself.
5Priests must not <03808> have a bald spot <07144> shaved <07139> on their head <07218>, they must not <03808> shave <01548> the corner <06285> of their beard <02206>, and they must not <03808> cut <08295> slashes <08296> in their body <01320>.
6“‘They must be <01961> holy <06918> to their God <0430>, and they must not <03808> profane <02490> the name <08034> of their God <0430>, because <03588> they are the ones who present <07126> the Lord’s <03068> gifts <0801>, the food <03899> of their God <0430>. Therefore they <01992> must be <01961> holy <06944>.
7They must not <03808> take <03947> a wife <0802> defiled <02491> by prostitution <02181>, nor <03808> are they to take <03947> a wife <0802> divorced <01644> from her husband <0376>, for <03588> the priest is holy <06918> to his God <0430>.
8You must sanctify <06942> him because <03588> he <01931> presents <07126> the food <03899> of your God <0430>. He must be <01961> holy <06918> to you because <03588> I <0589>, the Lord <03068> who sanctifies <06942> you all, am holy <06918>.
9If <03588> a daughter <01323> of a <0376> priest <03548> profanes <02490> herself by engaging in prostitution <02181>, she <01931> is profaning <02490> her father <01>. She must be burned to death <08313>.
10“‘The high <01419> priest <03548>– who <0834> is greater than his brothers <0251>, on <05921> whose head <07218> the anointing <04888> oil <08081> is poured <03332>, who has been ordained <04390> to wear <03847> the priestly garments <0899>– must neither <03808> dishevel <06544> the hair of his head <07218> nor <03808> tear <06533> his garments <0899>.
11He must not <03808> go <0935> where there is any <03605> dead <04191> person <05315>; he must not <03808> defile <02930> himself even for his father <01> and his mother <0517>.
12He must not <03808> go out <03318> from <04480> the sanctuary <04720> and must not <03808> profane <02490> the sanctuary <04720> of his God <0430>, because <03588> the dedication <05145> of the anointing <04888> oil <08081> of his God <0430> is on <05921> him. I <0589> am the Lord <03068>.
13He <01931> must take <03947> a wife <0802> who is a virgin <01331>.
14He must not <03808> marry <03947> a widow <0490>, a divorced <01644> woman, or one profaned <02491> by prostitution <02181>; he may only <0518> take <03947> a virgin <01330> from his people <05971> as a wife <0802>.
15He must not <03808> profane <02490> his children <02233> among his people <05971>, for <03588> I <0589> am the Lord <03069> who sanctifies <06942> him.’”
16The Lord <03068> spoke <01696> to <0413> Moses <04872>:
17“Tell <01696> Aaron <0175>, ‘No man <0376> from your descendants <02233> throughout their generations <01755> who <0834> has <01961> a physical flaw <03971> is to approach <07126> to present <07126> the food <03899> of his God <0430>.
18Certainly <03588> no <03808> man <0376> who <0834> has a physical flaw <03971> is to approach <07126>: a blind <05787> man <0376>, or <0176> one who is lame <06455>, or <0176> one with a slit nose <02763>, or <0176> a limb too long <08311>,
19or <0176> a man <0376> who <0834> has had a broken <07667> leg <07272> or <0176> arm <03027> <07667>,
20or <0176> a hunchback <01384>, or <0176> a dwarf <01851>, or <0176> one with a spot <08400> in his eye <05869>, or <0176> a festering eruption <01618>, or <0176> a feverish rash <03217>, or <0176> a crushed <04790> testicle <0810>.
21No man <0376> from the descendants <02233> of Aaron <0175> the priest <03548> who has a physical flaw <03971> may step forward <05066> to present <07126> the Lord’s <03068> gifts <0801>; he has a physical flaw <03971>, so he must not <03808> step forward <05066> to present <07126> the food <03899> of his God <0430>.
22He may eat <0398> both the most <06944> holy <06944> and the holy <06944> food <03899> of his God <0430>,
23but <0389> he must not <03808> go <0935> into <0413> the veil-canopy <06532> or <03808> step forward <05066> to <0413> the altar <04196> because <03588> he has a physical flaw <03971>. Thus he must not <03808> profane <02490> my holy places <04720>, for <03588> I <0589> am the Lord <03068> who sanctifies <06942> them.’”
24So Moses <04872> spoke <01696> these things to <0413> Aaron <0175>, his sons <01121>, and all <03605> the Israelites <03478> <01121>.
