1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Speak unto the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none make himself unclean for a dead person among his peoples,
2 except for his immediate 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, a virgin, that is near unto him, who hath had no husband, for her may he make himself unclean.
4 He shall not make himself unclean {who is} a chief among his peoples, to profane himself.
5 They shall not make any baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corners 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 they present Jehovah's offerings by fire, the bread of their God; therefore shall they be holy.
7 They shall not take as wife a whore, or a dishonoured woman; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy unto his God.
8 And thou shalt hallow him; for the bread of thy God doth he present: he shall be holy unto thee; for I, Jehovah, who hallow you am holy.
9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burned with fire.
10 And the high priest among his brethren, on whose head the anointing oil was poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his garments.
11 Neither shall he come near any person dead, nor make himself unclean for his father and for his mother;
12 neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration 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 a divorced woman, or a dishonoured one, a harlot, these shall he not take; but he shall take as wife a virgin from among his peoples.
15 And he shall not profane his seed among his peoples; for I am Jehovah who do hallow him.
16 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Any of thy seed throughout their generations that hath any defect, shall not approach to present the bread of his God;
18 for whatever man hath a defect, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or one limb longer than the other,
19 or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,
20 or hump-backed, or withered, or that hath a spot in his eye, or hath the itch, or scabs, or his testicles broken.
21 No man of the seed of Aaron the priest that hath defect shall come near to present Jehovah's offerings by fire: he hath a defect; he shall not come near to present the bread of his God.
22 The bread of his God, of the most holy and of the holy, shall he eat;
23 only he shall not come in unto the veil, nor shall he draw near unto the altar; for he hath a defect: that he profane not my sanctuaries; for I am Jehovah who do hallow them.
24 And Moses told it to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
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。
