1 The LORD said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them: 'A priest must not make himself ceremonially unclean for any of his people who die,2 except for a close relative, such as his mother or father, his son or daughter, his brother,3 or an unmarried sister who is dependent on him since she has no husband —for her he may make himself unclean.4 He must not make himself unclean for people related to him by marriage, "and so defile himself.5 "'Priests must not shave their heads or shave off the edges of their beards or cut their bodies.6 They must be holy to their God and must not profane the name of their God. Because they present the food offerings to the LORD, the food of their God, they are to be holy.7 "'They must not marry women defiled by prostitution or divorced from their husbands, because priests are holy to their God.8 Regard them as holy, because they offer up the food of your God. Consider them holy, because I the LORD am holy —I who make you holy.9 "'If a priest's daughter defiles herself by becoming a prostitute, she disgraces her father; she must be burned in the fire.10 "'The high priest, the one among his brothers who has had the anointing oil poured on his head and who has been ordained to wear the priestly garments, must not let his hair become unkempt "or tear his clothes.11 He must not enter a place where there is a dead body. He must not make himself unclean, even for his father or mother,12 nor leave the sanctuary of his God or desecrate it, because he has been dedicated by the anointing oil of his God. I am the LORD.13 "'The woman he marries must be a virgin.14 He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, or a woman defiled by prostitution, but only a virgin from his own people,15 so that he will not defile his offspring among his people. I am the LORD, who makes him holy.'"16 The LORD said to Moses,17 "Say to Aaron: 'For the generations to come none of your descendants who has a defect may come near to offer the food of his God.18 No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed;19 no man with a crippled foot or hand,20 or who is a hunchback or a dwarf, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles.21 No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to come near to present the food offerings to the LORD. He has a defect; he must not come near to offer the food of his God.22 He may eat the most holy food of his God, as well as the holy food;23 yet because of his defect, he must not go near the curtain or approach the altar, and so desecrate my sanctuary. I am the LORD, who makes them holy.'"24 So Moses told this to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites.

1 وقال الرب لموسى كلم الكهنة بني هرون وقل لهم. لا يتنجس احد منكم لميت في قومه.2 الا لاقربائه الاقرب اليه امه وابيه وابنه وابنته واخيه3 واخته العذراء القريبة اليه التي لم تصر لرجل. لاجلها يتنجس.4 كزوج لا يتنجس باهله لتدنيسه.5 لا يجعلوا قرعة في رؤوسهم ولا يحلقوا عوارض لحاهم ولا يجرحوا جراحة في اجسادهم.6 مقدسين يكونون لالههم ولا يدنسون اسم الههم لانهم يقرّبون وقائد الرب طعام الههم فيكونون قدسا.7 امرأة زانية او مدنّسة لا يأخذوا ولا يأخذوا امرأة مطلّقة من زوجها. لانه مقدس لالهه.8 فتحسبه مقدسا لانه يقرب خبز الهك. مقدسا يكون عندك لاني قدوس انا الرب مقدسكم.9 واذا تدنست ابنة كاهن بالزنى فقد دنست اباها. بالنار تحرق10 والكاهن الاعظم بين اخوته الذي صبّ على راسه دهن المسحة وملئت يده ليلبس الثياب لا يكشف راسه ولا يشق ثيابه11 ولا يأتي الى نفس ميتة ولا يتنجس لابيه او امه12 ولا يخرج من المقدس لئلا يدنس مقدس الهه. لان اكليل دهن مسحة الهه عليه. انا الرب.13 هذا يأخذ امرأة عذراء.14 اما الارملة والمطلقة والمدنسة والزانية فمن هؤلاء لا يأخذ بل يتخذ عذراء من قومه امرأة.15 ولا يدنس زرعه بين شعبه لاني انا الرب مقدسه16 وكلم الرب موسى قائلا.17 كلم هرون قائلا. اذا كان رجل من نسلك في اجيالهم فيه عيب فلا يتقدم ليقرّب خبز الهه.18 لان كل رجل فيه عيب لا يتقدم. لا رجل اعمى ولا اعرج ولا افطس ولا زوائدي19 ولا رجل فيه كسر رجل او كسر يد20 ولا احدب ولا اكشم ولا من في عينه بياض ولا اجرب ولا اكلف ولا مرضوض الخصى.21 كل رجل فيه عيب من نسل هرون الكاهن لا يتقدم ليقرّب وقائد الرب. فيه عيب لا يتقدم ليقرّب خبز الهه.22 خبز الهه من قدس الاقداس ومن القدس ياكل.23 لكن الى الحجاب لا يأتي والى المذبح لا يقترب لان فيه عيبا لئلا يدنّس مقدسي. لاني انا الرب مقدّسهم.24 فكلم موسى هرون وبنيه وكل بني اسرائيل
