8. You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you; for I Yahweh, who sanctify you, am holy.
9. “‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall be burned with fire.
10. “‘He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, or tear his clothes.
11. He must not go in to any dead body, or defile himself for his father, or for his mother.
12. He shall not 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 Yahweh.
13. “‘He shall take a wife in her virginity.
14. A widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute, these he shall not marry: but a virgin of his own people shall he take as a wife.
15. He shall not profane his offspring among his people, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies him.’”
16. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
17. “Say to Aaron, ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the bread of his God.
18. For whatever man he is that has a defect, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,
19. or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
20. or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles.
21. No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22. He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23. He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a defect; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”
24. So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
