Leviticus 21:13-24 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

13. `And he taketh a wife in her virginity;

14. widow, or cast out, or polluted one--a harlot--these he doth not take, but a virgin of his own people he doth take [for] a wife,

15. and he doth not pollute his seed among his people; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying him.'

16. And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

17. `Speak unto Aaron, saying, No man of thy seed to their generations in whom there is blemish doth draw near to bring near the bread of his God,

18. for no man in whom [is] blemish doth draw near--a man blind, or lame or dwarfed, or enlarged,

19. or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,

20. or hump-backed, or a dwarf, or with a mixture in his eye, or a scurvy person, or scabbed, or broken-testicled.

21. `No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) doth come nigh to bring near the fire-offerings of Jehovah; blemish [is] in him; the bread of his God he doth not come nigh to bring near.

22. `Bread of his God--of the most holy things, and of the holy things--he doth eat;

23. only, unto the vail he doth not enter, and unto the altar he doth not draw nigh; for blemish [is] in him; and he doth not pollute My sanctuaries; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying them.'

24. And Moses speaketh unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel.
