15:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man
hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is
unclean.
3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh
run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his
uncleanness.
4 Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and
every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.
5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
6 And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the issue
shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean
until the even.
7 And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash
his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the
even.
8 And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he
shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean
until the even.
9 And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be
unclean.
10 And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be
unclean until the even: and he that beareth any of those things shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the
even.
11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed
his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in
water, and be unclean until the even.
12 And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue,
shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
13 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he
shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his
clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
14 And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two
young pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and give them unto the priest:
15 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and
the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement
for him before the LORD for his issue.
16 And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall
wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.
17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of
copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
18 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation,
they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the
even.
19 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood,
she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be
unclean until the even.
20 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be
unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
21 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
22 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
23 And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when
he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
24 And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he
shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be
unclean.
25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time
of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all
the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her
separation: she shall be unclean.
26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto
her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon
shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.
27 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the
even.
28 But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to
herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two
young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
30 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the
other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for
her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.
31 Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their
uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile
my tabernacle that is among them.
32 This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed
goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;
33 And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an
issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her
that is unclean. |

16:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of
Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died;
2 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he
come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the
mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear
in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
3 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for
a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen
breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and
with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments;
therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on.
5 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two
kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt
offering.
6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for
himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD,
and the other lot for the scapegoat.
9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, and
offer him for a sin offering.
10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be
presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to
let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for
himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house,
and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:
12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off
the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten
small, and bring it within the vail:
13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that
the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the
testimony, that he die not:
14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with
his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat
shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
15 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the
people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as
he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy
seat, and before the mercy seat:
16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the
uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their
transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the
tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst
of their uncleanness.
17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation
when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come
out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household,
and for all the congregation of Israel.
18 And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and
make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock,
and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar
round about.
19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven
times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the
children of Israel.
20 And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the
tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live
goat:
21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat,
and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and
all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head
of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the
wilderness:
22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land
not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and
shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into
the holy place, and shall leave them there:
24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put
on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the
burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and
for the people.
25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
26 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his
clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the
camp.
27 And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin
offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy
place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in
the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his
flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
29 And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh
month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and
do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a
stranger that sojourneth among you:
30 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to
cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your
souls, by a statute for ever.
32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate
to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make
the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy
garments:
33 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall
make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the
altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the
people of the congregation.
34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an
atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year.
And he did as the LORD commanded Moses. |

17:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of
Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD hath
commanded, saying,
3 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox,
or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,
4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle
of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood;
and that man shall be cut off from among his people:
5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices,
which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto
the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto
the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.
6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD
at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat
for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after
whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto
them throughout their generations.
8 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house
of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth
a burnt offering of sacrifice,
9 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut
off from among his people.
10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the
strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I
will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will
cut him off from among his people.
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to
you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the
blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall
eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat
blood.
13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the
strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast
or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof,
and cover it with dust.
14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life
thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat
the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the
blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
15 And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which
was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a
stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear
his iniquity. |

18:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD
your God.
3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye
not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring
you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein:
I am the LORD your God.
5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a
man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to
uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt
thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her
nakedness.
8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy
father's nakedness.
9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter
of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their
nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter,
even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own
nakedness.
11 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy
father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is
thy father's near kinswoman.
13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for
she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou
shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is
thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is
thy brother's nakedness.
17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter,
neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's
daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen:
it is wickedness.
18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to
uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness,
as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to
defile thyself with her.
21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to
Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is
abomination.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith:
neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it
is confusion.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these
the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof
upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not
commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor
any stranger that sojourneth among you:
27(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which
were before you, and the land is defiled;)
28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued
out the nations that were before you.
29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the
souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one
of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that
ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God. |

2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say
unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.
3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my
sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the
LORD your God.
5 And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye
shall offer it at your own will.
6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and
if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it
shall not be accepted.
8 Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because
he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall
be cut off from among his people.
9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly
reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings
of thy harvest.
10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather
every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and
stranger: I am the LORD your God.
11 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to
another.
12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou
profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
13 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of
him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the
morning.
14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the
blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.
15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect
the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in
righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
16 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people:
neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the
LORD.
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any
wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of
thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the
LORD.
19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender
with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed:
neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
20 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid,
betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given
her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because
she was not free.
21 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass
offering.
22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the
trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and
the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.
23 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all
manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as
uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it
shall not be eaten of.
24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to
praise the LORD withal.
25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it
may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.
26 Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use
enchantment, nor observe times.
27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou
mar the corners of thy beard.
28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor
print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest
the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the
LORD.
31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after
wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of
the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD.
33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex
him.
34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one
born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were
strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight,
or in measure.
36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye
have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of
Egypt.
37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments,
and do them: I am the LORD. |

20:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of
the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel,
that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to
death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
3 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from
among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to
defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the
man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
5 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family,
and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit
whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and
after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face
against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD
your God.
8 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which
sanctify you.
9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely
put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall
be upon him.
10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even
he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer
and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his
father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their
blood shall be upon them.
12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall
surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall
be upon them.
13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of
them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death;
their blood shall be upon them.
14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they
shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no
wickedness among you.
15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and
ye shall slay the beast.
16 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou
shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to
death; their blood shall be upon them.
17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his
mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness;
it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their
people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his
iniquity.
18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall
uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath
uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off
from among their people.
19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister,
nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall
bear their iniquity.
20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his
uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die
childless.
21 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing:
he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
22 Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and
do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you
not out.
23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast
out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I
abhorred them.
24 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will
give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and
honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other
people.
25 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean,
and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls
abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that
creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have
severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.
27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a
wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with
stones: their blood shall be upon them. |

21:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of
Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead
among his people:
2 But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, 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 nigh unto him, which hath had
no husband; for her may he be defiled.
4 But 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 the LORD made by fire, and the bread of
their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.
7 They shall not take a wife that is a whore, 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 the LORD, which sanctify 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 burnt with fire.
10 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;
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 the LORD.
13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 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.
15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD
do sanctify him.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 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.
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 any
thing superfluous,
19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be
scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
21 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.
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 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.
24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the
children of Israel. |
