1. And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Speak unto the priests, sons of Aaron, and thou hast said unto them, For [any] person [a priest] is not defiled among his people,
2. except for his relation who [is] near unto him--for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.
3. and for his sister, the virgin, who is near unto him, who hath not been to a man; for her he is defiled.
4. `A master [priest] doth not defile himself among his people--to pollute himself;
5. they do not make baldness on their head, and the corner of their beard they do not shave, and in their flesh they do not make a cutting;
6. they are holy to their God, and they pollute not the name of their God, for the fireofferings of Jehovah, bread of their God, they are bringing near, and have been holy.
7. `A woman, a harlot, or polluted, they do not take, and a woman cast out from her husband they do not take, for he [is] holy to his God;
8. and thou hast sanctified him, for the bread of thy God he is bringing near; he is holy to thee; for holy [am] I, Jehovah, sanctifying you.
