1 耶和华对摩西说： "你要告诉亚伦子孙作祭司的， 对他们说： 祭司不可在自己的族人中因死人玷污自己，
2 除非骨肉至亲， 例如父母、儿女、兄弟，
3 或是仍是处女， 未曾出嫁的姊妹等至亲， 祭司才可以玷污自己。
4 祭司不可为了姻亲而玷污， 亵渎自己的圣职（全句或译： "祭司既为族人的首领， 就不可从俗玷污"）。
5 祭司不可剃光头发， 胡须的周围不可剃掉， 也不可纹身。
6 他们要成为圣， 归向他们的 神， 不可亵渎他们 神的名， 因为他们奉献耶和华的火祭， 他们 神的食物， 所以他们要成为圣。
7 祭司不可娶被玷辱了的妓女为妻， 也不可娶被丈夫离弃的女人为妻； 因为祭司是归他的 神为圣的。
8 所以你要使他分别为圣， 因为他把食物献给你的 神； 你要以他为圣， 因为我耶和华使你们分别为圣的， 是圣洁的。
9 如果祭司的女儿羞辱自己去作妓女， 就是羞辱了自己的父亲； 她必须用火烧死。
10 "在兄弟中作大祭司的， 头上倒了膏油， 又受了圣职， 得以穿着圣衣， 就不可披头散发， 也不可撕裂衣服。
11 不可走近死尸， 也不可为了父母玷污自己。
12 他不可走出圣所， 也不可亵渎他 神的圣所， 因为他 神膏立了他， 使他分别为圣， 我是耶和华。
13 他要娶处女为妻。
14 寡妇、被休的妇人、受玷辱的妓女， 他都不可以娶； 他只可以娶自己族人中的处女为妻。
15 不可在自己的族人中， 羞辱他的后裔， 因为我是使他们分别为圣的耶和华。"
16 耶和华对摩西说：
17 "你要告诉亚伦： 你世世代代的后裔中， 有残疾的， 就不可走近来献他 神的食物。
18 因为有残疾的， 无论是瞎眼、瘸腿、五官不正、畸形、
19 断脚断手的、
20 驼背、矮小、眼睛有毛病、长癣、生疹， 或是肾子损坏的， 都不可走近来，
21 亚伦祭司的后裔中， 有残疾的， 都不可上前来献耶和华的火祭； 他既有残疾， 就不可上前来献他的 神的食物。
22 他 神的食物， 无论是至圣的或是圣的， 他都可以吃；
23 只因他有残疾， 他就不可进到幔子前， 也不可上前到我的祭坛那里， 免得亵渎我的圣所； 我是使他们分别为圣的耶和华。"
24 于是摩西告诉亚伦和亚伦的儿子， 以及所有以色列人。
1 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none defile himself for the dead among his people; 2 except for his kin, that 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 a virgin, that is near unto him, that hath had no husband; for her may he defile himself. 4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself. 5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 6 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God; for the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy. 7 They shall not take a woman that is a harlot, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God. 8 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee; for I Jehovah, who sanctify you, am holy. 9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the harlot, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
10 And he that is the high priest among his brethren, 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 go loose, nor rend his clothes; 11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; 12 neither shall he 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 Jehovah. 13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 14 A widow, or one divorced, or a profane woman, a harlot, these shall he not take: but a virgin of his own people shall he take to wife. 15 And he shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth him.
16 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed throughout their generations that hath a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. 18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or anything superfluous, 19 or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed, 20 or crook-backed, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or is scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; 21 no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a blemish, shall come nigh to offer the offerings of Jehovah made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh 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 only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them. 24 So Moses spake unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
