And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SpeakH559 unto the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and sayH559 unto them, There shall none be defiledH2930 for the deadH5315 among his peopleH5971:
But for his kinH7607, that is nearH7138 unto him, that is, for his motherH517, and for his fatherH1, and for his sonH1121, and for his daughterH1323, and for his brotherH251,
And for his sisterH269 a virginH1330, that is nighH7138 unto him, which hath had no husbandH376; for her may he be defiledH2930.
But he shall not defileH2930 himself, being a chief manH1167 among his peopleH5971, to profaneH2490 himself. {he…: or, being an husband among his people, he shall not defile himself for his wife, etc}
They shall not makeH7139 baldnessH7144 upon their headH7218, neither shall they shave offH1548 the cornerH6285 of their beardH2206, nor makeH8295 any cuttingsH8296 in their fleshH1320.
They shall be holyH6944 unto their GodH430, and not profaneH2490 the nameH8034 of their GodH430: for the offeringsH801 of the LORDH3068 made by fireH801, and the breadH3899 of their GodH430, they do offerH7126: therefore they shall be holyH6918.
They shall not takeH3947 a wifeH802 that is a whoreH2181, or profaneH2491; neither shall they takeH3947 a womanH802 put awayH1644 from her husbandH376: for he is holyH6918 unto his GodH430.
Thou shalt sanctifyH6942 him therefore; for he offerethH7126 the breadH3899 of thy GodH430: he shall be holyH6918 unto thee: for I the LORDH3068, which sanctifyH6942 you, am holyH6918.
And the daughterH1323 of anyH376 priestH3548, if she profaneH2490 herself by playing the whoreH2181, she profanethH2490 her fatherH1: she shall be burntH8313 with fireH784.
And he that is the highH1419 priestH3548 among his brethrenH251, upon whose headH7218 the anointingH4888 oilH8081 was pouredH3332, and that is consecratedH4390+H3027 to putH3847 on the garmentsH899, shall not uncoverH6544 his headH7218, nor rendH6533 his clothesH899;
Neither shall he go inH935 to any deadH4191 bodyH5315, nor defileH2930 himself for his fatherH1, or for his motherH517;
Neither shall he go outH3318 of the sanctuaryH4720, nor profaneH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of his GodH430; for the crownH5145 of the anointingH4888 oilH8081 of his GodH430 is upon him: I am the LORDH3068.
And he shall takeH3947 a wifeH802 in her virginityH1331.
A widowH490, or a divorced womanH1644, or profaneH2491, or an harlotH2181, these shall he not takeH3947: but he shall takeH3947 a virginH1330 of his own peopleH5971 to wifeH802.
Neither shall he profaneH2490 his seedH2233 among his peopleH5971: for I the LORDH3068 do sanctifyH6942 him.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto AaronH175, sayingH559, WhosoeverH376 he be of thy seedH2233 in their generationsH1755 that hath any blemishH3971, let him not approachH7126 to offerH7126 the breadH3899 of his GodH430. {bread: or, food}
For whatsoever manH376 he be that hath a blemishH3971, he shall not approachH7126: a blindH5787 manH376, or a lameH6455, or he that hath a flat noseH2763, or any thing superfluousH8311,
Or a manH376 that is brokenfootedH7667+H7272, or brokenhandedH7667+H3027,
Or crookbacktH1384, or a dwarfH1851, or that hath a blemishH8400 in his eyeH5869, or be scurvyH1618, or scabbedH3217, or hath his stonesH810 brokenH4790; {a dwarf: or, too slender}
No manH376 that hath a blemishH3971 of the seedH2233 of AaronH175 the priestH3548 shall come nighH5066 to offerH7126 the offeringsH801 of the LORDH3068 made by fireH801: he hath a blemishH3971; he shall not come nighH5066 to offerH7126 the breadH3899 of his GodH430.
He shall eatH398 the breadH3899 of his GodH430, both of the mostH6944 holyH6944, and of the holyH6944.
Only he shall not go inH935 unto the vailH6532, nor come nighH5066 unto the altarH4196, because he hath a blemishH3971; that he profaneH2490 not my sanctuariesH4720: for I the LORDH3068 do sanctifyH6942 them.
And MosesH4872 toldH1696 it unto AaronH175, and to his sonsH1121, and unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

And now, O ye priestsH3548, this commandmentH4687 is for you.
If ye will not hearH8085, and if ye will not layH7760 it to heartH3820, to giveH5414 gloryH3519 unto my nameH8034, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I will even sendH7971 a curseH3994 upon you, and I will curseH779 your blessingsH1293: yea, I have cursedH779 them already, because ye do not layH7760 it to heartH3820.
Behold, I will corruptH1605 your seedH2233, and spreadH2219 dungH6569 upon your facesH6440, even the dungH6569 of your solemn feastsH2282; and one shall take you awayH5375 with it. {corrupt: or, reprove} {spread: Heb. scatter} {one…: or, it shall take you away to it}
And ye shall knowH3045 that I have sentH7971 this commandmentH4687 unto you, that my covenantH1285 might be with LeviH3878, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
My covenantH1285 was with him of lifeH2416 and peaceH7965; and I gaveH5414 them to him for the fearH4172 wherewith he fearedH3372 me, and was afraidH2865 beforeH6440 my nameH8034.
The lawH8451 of truthH571 was in his mouthH6310, and iniquityH5766 was not foundH4672 in his lipsH8193: he walkedH1980 with me in peaceH7965 and equityH4334, and did turnH7725 manyH7227 awayH7725 from iniquityH5771.
For the priest'sH3548 lipsH8193 should keepH8104 knowledgeH1847, and they should seekH1245 the lawH8451 at his mouthH6310: for he is the messengerH4397 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
AndG2532 sayG2036 to ArchippusG751, Take heedG991 to the ministryG1248 whichG3739 thou hast receivedG3880 inG1722 the LordG2962, thatG2443 thou fulfilG4137 itG846.
