Leviticus 21
21:1 And
the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto
them, There shall none be
a defiled for
the dead among his people:
(
a) By touching the dead, lamenting, or being at
their burial.
21:3 And for his sister a
b
virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be
defiled.
(
b) For being married she seemed to be cut off
from his family.
21:4 [But] he shall not defile himself, [being] a
c
chief man among his people, to profane himself.
(
c) The priest was permitted to mourn for his
next kindred only.
21:7 They
shall not take a wife [that is] a whore, or
d
profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he [is]
holy unto his God.
(
d) Which has an evil name or is defamed.
21:8 Thou shalt
e
sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the
f
bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which sanctify
you, [am] holy.
(
e) You shall count them holy and reverence them.
(
f) The showbread.
21:10 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
g
uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;
(
g) He shall use no such ceremonies as the
mourners observed.
21:12 Neither shall he go out
of the
h sanctuary, nor profane the
sanctuary of his God; for the
i crown of
the anointing oil of his God [is] upon him: I [am] the LORD.
(
h) To go to the dead.
(
i) For by his anointing he was preferred above
the other priests and therefore could not lament the dead, least he should
have polluted his holy anointing.
21:14 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
k people to wife.
(
k) Not only of his tribe, but of all Israel.
21:15 Neither shall he profane his
l
seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.
(
l) By marrying any unchaste or defamed woman.
21:18
For whatsoever man [he be] that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind
man, or a lame, or he that hath
m a flat
nose, or any
n thing superfluous,
(
m) Which is deformed or bruised.
(
n) As not of equal proportion, or having in
number more or less.
21:20 Or crookbackt, or a
dwarf,
o or that hath a blemish in his
eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
(
o) Or that has a web or pearl.
21:21 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
p
bread of his God.
(
p) As the show bread, and meat offerings.
21:22 He shall eat the bread of his God, [both] of
the
q most holy, and
r
of the holy.
(
q) As of sacrifice for sin.
(
r) As of the tithes and first fruits.
21:23 Only he shall not go in unto the
s
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.
(
s) Into the sanctuary.
