and shall die childless. If a man take his brother's wife, it is an
unclean thing, he hath uncovered his brother's secrets, they shall be
childless therefore. See that ye keep therefore all mine ordinances and
all my judgements, and that ye do them: that the land whither I bring
you to dwell therein, spew you not out. And see that ye walk not in the
manners of the nations which I cast out before you: For they committed
all these things, and I abhorred them. But I have said unto you that ye
shall enjoy their land, and that I will give it unto you to possess it:
even a land that floweth with milk and honey. I am the LORD your God,
which have separated you from other nations: that ye should put
difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls
and them that are clean. Make not your souls therefore abominable with
beasts and fowls, and with all manner thing that creepeth upon the
ground, which I have separated unto you to hold them unclean. Be holy
unto me, for I the LORD am holy and have severed you from other
nations: that ye should be mine. If there be man or woman that worketh
with a spirit or a maker of dismal days, {expoundeth tokens} they shall
die for it. Men shall stone them with stones, and their blood shall be
upon them.
Chapter .xxj.
And the LORD said unto Moses: speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron
and say unto them: A priest shall defile himself at the death of none
of his people, but upon his kin that is nye unto him: as his mother,

pollute the name of their God, for the sacrifices of the LORD and the
bread of their God they do offer: therefore they must be holy. They
shall take no wife that is an whore, or polluted, or put from her
husband: for a priest is holy unto his God. Sanctify him therefore, for
he offereth up the bread of God: he shall therefore be holy unto thee,
for I the LORD which sanctify you, am holy. If a priest's daughter fall
to play the whore, she polluteth her father: therefore she shall be
burnt with fire. He that is the high priest among his brethren upon
whose head the anointing oil was poured and whose hand was filled to
put on the vestments, shall not uncover his head nor rent his clothes,
neither shall go to any dead body nor make himself unclean: no not on
his father or mother, neither shall go out of the sanctuary, that he
pollute not the holy place of his God, for the crown of the anointing
oil of God, is upon him. I am the LORD. He shall take a maiden unto his
wife: but no widow nor divorced nor polluted whore. But he shall take a
