Book of Leviticus Chapter 21
03_LEV_21_01 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:
03_LEV_21_02 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,
03_LEV_21_03 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
03_LEV_21_04 [But] he shall not defile himself, [being] a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
03_LEV_21_05 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.
03_LEV_21_06 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.
03_LEV_21_07 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.
03_LEV_21_08 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.
03_LEV_21_09 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
03_LEV_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 uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;
03_LEV_21_11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
03_LEV_21_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.
03_LEV_21_13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
03_LEV_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 people to wife.
03_LEV_21_15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.
03_LEV_21_16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
03_LEV_21_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.
03_LEV_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 a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
03_LEV_21_19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
03_LEV_21_20 Or crookbacked, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
03_LEV_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 bread of his God.
03_LEV_21_22 He shall eat the bread of his God, [both] of the most holy, and of the holy.
03_LEV_21_23 Only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
03_LEV_21_24 And Moses told [it] unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
