Leviticus:21:9-23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the daughter of any priest ,
if she profane herself by playing the whore ,
she profaneth her father :
she shall be burnt with fire .
*
And he that is the high priest among his brethren ,
upon whose head the anointing oil was poured ,
and that is consecrated to put on the garments ,
shall not uncover his head ,
nor rend his clothes ;
*
Neither shall he go in to any dead body ,
nor defile himself for his father ,
or for his mother ;
*
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 the LORD .
*
And he shall take a wife in her virginity .
*
A widow ,
or a divorced woman ,
or profane ,
or an harlot ,
these shall he not take :
but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife .
*
Neither shall he profane his seed among his people :
for I the LORD do sanctify him .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto Aaron ,
saying ,
Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish ,
let him not approach to offer the bread of his God .
*
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 any thing superfluous ,
*
Or a man that is brokenfooted ,
or brokenhanded ,
*
Or crookbackt ,
or a dwarf ,
or that hath a blemish in his eye ,
or be scurvy ,
or scabbed ,
or hath his stones broken ;
*
No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire :
he hath a blemish ;
he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God .
*
He shall eat the bread of his God ,
both of the most holy ,
and of the holy .
*
Only he shall not go in unto the vail ,
nor come nigh unto the altar ,
because he hath a blemish ;
that he profane not my sanctuaries :
for I the LORD do sanctify them .
