maiden of his own people to wife, that he defile not his seed upon his
people. For I am the LORD which sanctify him. And the LORD spake unto
Moses saying, speak unto Aaron and say: No man of thy seed in their
generations that hath any deformity upon him, shall prease for to offer
the bread of his God: For none that hath any blemish shall come near:
whether he be blind, lame, snoutnosed, or that hath any monstrous
member, or broken footed, or broken handed, or crook backed, or
perleyed, or goggle eyed, or mangy or skald, or hath his stones broken.
No man that is deformed of the seed of Aaron the priest, shall come nye
to offer the sacrifices of the LORD. If he have a deformity, he shall
not prese to offer the bread of his God. Notwithstanding he shall eat
of the bread of his God: even as well of the most holy, as of the holy:
but shall not go in unto the vail nor come nye the altar, because he is
deformed, that he pollute not my sanctuary, for I am the LORD that
sanctify them. And Moses told it unto Aaron and to his sons, and unto
all the children of Israel.
Chapter .xxij.
And the LORD communed with Moses saying: bid Aaron and his sons that
they abstain from the hallowed things of the children of Israel which
they have hallowed unto me, that they pollute not mine holy name: for I
am the LORD. Say unto them: whosoever he be of all your seed among your
generation after you, that goeth unto the hallowed things which the
children of Israel shall have hallowed unto the LORD, his uncleanness
shall be upon him: and that soul shall perish from out of my sight. I
am the LORD. None of the seed of Aaron that is a leper or that hath a
running sore, shall eat of the hallowed things until he be clean. And
whosoever twitcheth any unclean soul or man whose seed runneth from him
by night, or whosoever twicheth any worm that is unclean to him, or man
that is unclean to him, whatsoever uncleanness he hath: the same soul
that hath twiched any such thing, shall be unclean until even, and
shall not eat of the hallowed things until he have washed his flesh
with water. And then when the son is down he shall be clean and shall
afterward eat of the hallowed things: for they are his food. Of a beast
that dieth alone or is rent with wild beasts, he shall not eat, to
defile himself therewith: I am the LORD. But let them keep therefore
mine ordinance, lest they lade sin upon them and die therein when they
have defiled them selves: for I am the LORD which sanctify them. There
shall no stranger eat of the hallowed things, neither a guest of the
priests, or an hired servant. But if the priest buy any fowl with money
he may eat of it, and he also that is born in his house may eat of his
bread. If the priest's daughter be married unto a stranger, she may not
eat of the hallowed heave offerings. Notwithstanding if the priest's
daughter be a widow or divorced and have no child but is returned unto
her father's house again, she shall eat of her father's bread as well
