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

is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his
daughter, and for his brother.

their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread

father, or for his mother; 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.

shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to
wife.

LORD do sanctify him.
