Lev 21:1 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aharon,
and say to them: ‘No one is to be defiled for the dead among his people,
Lev 21:2 except for his relatives who are nearest to him: for his mother, and
for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother;
Lev 21:3 and for his maiden sister who is near to him, who has had no
husband – for her he is defiled.
Lev 21:4 ‘A leader does not defile himself among his people, to profane
himself;
Lev 21:5 they do not make any bald place on their heads, and they do not
shave the corner of their beard, and they do not make a cutting in their flesh.

Elohim, he is set-apart to you. For I, יהוה, setting you apart, am set-apart.
Lev 21:9 ‘And when the daughter of any priest profanes herself by whoring,
she profanes her father. She is burned with fire.
Lev 21:10 ‘And the high priest among his brothers, on whose head the
anointing oil was poured and who is ordained to wear the garments, does not
unbind his head nor tear his garments,
Lev 21:11 nor come near any dead body, nor defile himself for his father or
his mother,
Lev 21:12 nor go out of the set-apart place, nor profane the set-apart place
of his Elohim, for the sign of dedication of the anointing oil of his Elohim is
upon him. I am יהוה.
Lev 21:13 ‘And let him take a wife in her maidenhood.
Lev 21:14 ‘A widow or one put away or a defiled woman or a whore –
these he does not take. But a maiden of his own people he does take as a
wife.
Lev 21:15 ‘And he does not profane his offspring among his people, for I am
יהוה, who sets him apart.’ ”
Lev 21:16 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 21:17 “Speak to Aharon, saying, ‘No man of your offspring throughout
their generations, who has any defect, is to draw near to bring the bread of
his Elohim.
Lev 21:18 ‘For any man who has a defect is not to draw near: a man blind or
one lame or disfigured or deformed,

Lev 21:22 ‘He does eat the bread of his Elohim, both the most set-apart and
the set-apart,
Lev 21:23 only, he does not go near the veil or approach the altar, because
he has a defect, lest he profanes My set-apart places. For I am יהוה, who sets
them apart.’ ”
Lev 21:24 Thus Mosheh spoke to Aharon and his sons, and to all the
children of Yisra’ĕl.

emission of semen,
Lev 22:5 or a man who touches any creeping creature by which he would be
made unclean, or any being by whom he would become unclean, even any of
his uncleanness;

children of Yisra’ĕl, which they lift up to יהוה,
Lev 22:16 or allow them to bear the crookedness of trespass when they eat
their set-apart offerings. For I am יהוה, who sets them apart.’ ”
Lev 22:17 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 22:18 “Speak to Aharon and his sons, and to all the children of Yisra’ĕl,
and say to them, ‘Any man of the house of Yisra’ĕl, or of the strangers in
Yisra’ĕl, who brings his offering for any of his vows or for any of his
voluntary offerings, which they bring to יהוה as a burnt offering,
Lev 22:19 for your acceptance, is a male, a perfect one from the cattle, from
the sheep, or from the goats.
Lev 22:20 ‘Whatever has a defect, you do not bring, for it is not acceptable
for you.
Lev 22:21 ‘And when a man brings a peace offering to יהוה, to complete a
vow, or a voluntary offering from the cattle or the sheep, it is to be perfect to
be accepted, let there be no defect in it.
Lev 22:22 ‘Those blind or broken or having a cut, or have an ulcer or
eczema or scabs, you do not bring to יהוה, nor make an offering by fire of
them on the altar to יהוה.
Lev 22:23 ‘As for a bull or a lamb that has any limb deformed or dwarfed
you do prepare as a voluntary offering, but for a vow it is not accepted.
Lev 22:24 ‘Do not bring to יהוה what is bruised or crushed, or torn or cut,
nor do it in your land.
Lev 22:25 ‘And from a son of a stranger’s hand you do not bring any of these
as the bread of your Elohim, for their corruption is in them, and defects are in
them, they are not acceptable for you.’ ”
Lev 22:26 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 22:27 “When a bull or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall be seven days
with its mother. And from the eighth day and thereafter it is acceptable as an
offering made by fire to יהוה.
Lev 22:28 “But do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its young on the same
day.
Lev 22:29 “And when you bring a slaughtering of thanksgiving to יהוה, bring
it for your acceptance.
