Leviticus 21:12-24

¹²neither he shall go out of the holy places, lest he defoul the saintuary of the Lord, for the oil of holy anointing of his God is on him; I am the Lord. (nor shall he go out of the holy place, lest he defile the Lord’s sanctuary, for the holiness of the anointing oil of his God is upon him; I am the Lord.)

¹³He shall wed to wife a virgin; (He shall wed a virgin for his wife;)

¹⁴he shall not take a widow, and a forsaken woman, and a foul woman, and (a) whore, but a virgin of his people; (he shall not wed a widow, or a forsaken woman, or a defiled woman, or a whore, but only a virgin out of his people;)

¹⁵meddle he not the generation of his kin to the common people of his folk, for I am the Lord, that halloweth him. (and so he shall not mix together, or dishonour, any of the generation of his kin among the common people, for I am the Lord, who maketh him holy.)

¹⁶And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,

¹⁷Speak thou to Aaron; a man of thy seed, by families, that hath a wem, that is, a notable foulness, shall not offer bread to his God, (Say thou to Aaron, A man of thy seed, among thy families, who hath a blemish, that is, a notable foulness, shall not offer the bread, or the loaves, to his God,)

¹⁸neither shall nigh to his service; (nor), if he is blind; if he is crooked; if he is either of little, either of great, or wrong nose; (nor shall he come to do his service; nor, as well, if he is blind, or lame; or too small, or too big;)

¹⁹if he is of broken foot, either hand; (if he hath a crippled, or deformed, hand or foot;)

²⁰if he hath a botch, or a bulge, on his back; either if he is bleary-eyed; if he hath white colour, or a pearl, in his eye, that hindereth his sight; if he hath (a) continual scab; if he hath a dry scab in his body (or if he hath a dry scab on his body); either if he be bruised in (the) privy members.

²¹Each man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a wem (or who hath any blemish, or any fault), shall not nigh to offer sacrifices to the Lord, neither to offer loaves to his God;

²²nevertheless he shall (still) eat the loaves that be offered in the saintuary,

²³so only that he enter not within the veil; he shall not nigh to the altar, for he hath a wem, and he shall not defoul my saintuary; I am the Lord, that hallow them. (so only that he not come within the Veil; he shall not approach the altar, for he hath a blemish, or a fault, and he shall not defile my sanctuary; I am the Lord who maketh them holy.)

²⁴Therefore Moses spake to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all Israel, all things that were commanded to him. (And so Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the Israelites, all that was commanded to him.)
