1And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, SpeakH559 to the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and sayH559 to them, There shall none be defiledH2930 for the deadH5315 among his peopleH5971: 2But for his kinH7607, that is nearH7138 to him, that is, for his motherH517, and for his fatherH1, and for his sonH1121, and for his daughterH1323, and for his brotherH251, 3And for his sisterH269 a virginH1330, that is nearH7138 to him, who hath had no husbandH376; for her he may be defiledH2930. 4But he shall not defileH2930 himself, being a chief manH1167 among his peopleH5971, to profaneH2490 himself.1 5They shall not makeH7139 baldnessH7144 upon their headH7218, neither shall they shave offH1548 the cornerH6285 of their beardH2206, nor makeH8295 any cuttingsH8296 in their fleshH1320. 6They shall be holyH6944 to 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. 7They shall not takeH3947 a wifeH802 that is an harlotH2181, or profaneH2491; neither shall they takeH3947 a womanH802 put awayH1644 from her husbandH376: for he is holyH6918 to his GodH430. 8Thou shalt sanctifyH6942 him therefore; for he offerethH7126 the breadH3899 of thy GodH430: he shall be holyH6918 to thee: for I the LORDH3068, who sanctifiethH6942 you, am holyH6918. 9And the daughterH1323 of anyH376 priestH3548, if she shall profaneH2490 herself by playing the harlotH2181, she profanethH2490 her fatherH1: she shall be burntH8313 with fireH784.
