Leviticus 21:1
|
|
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: |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:2 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 21:3 |
|
And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto
him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 21:4 |
|
But he shall not defile himself, being a chief
man among his people, to profane himself. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 21:5 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 21:6 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 21:7 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:8 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:9 |
|
And the daughter of any priest, if she profane
herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with
fire. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:10 |
|
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; |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:11 |
|
Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor
defile himself for his father, or for his mother; |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:12 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:13 |
|
And he shall take a wife in her virginity. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:14 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:15 |
|
Neither shall he profane his seed among his
people: for I the LORD do sanctify him. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:16 |
|
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:17 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:18 |
|
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, |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:19 |
|
Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 21:20 |
|
Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish
in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 21:21 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:22 |
|
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the
most holy, and of the holy. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:23 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 21:24 |
|
And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons,
and unto all the children of Israel. |
