021:006 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of
their God; for they offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire,
the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.
021:007 "'They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane;
neither shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband:
for he is holy to his God.
021:008 You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread
of your God: he shall be holy to you: for I Yahweh,
who sanctify you, am holy.
021:009 "'The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself
by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father:
she shall be burned with fire.
021:010 "'He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head
the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put
on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose,
nor tear his clothes;
021:011 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself
for his father, or for his mother;
021:012 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 Yahweh.
021:013 "'He shall take a wife in her virginity.
021:014 A widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled,
or a prostitute, these he shall not marry: but a virgin
of his own people shall he take as a wife.
021:015 He shall not profane his seed among his people:
for I am Yahweh who sanctifies him.'"
021:016 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
021:017 "Say to Aaron, 'None of your seed throughout their generations
who has a blemish, may approach to offer the bread of his God.
021:018 For whatever man he is that has a blemish, he shall not draw near:
a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose,
or any deformity,
021:019 or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,
021:020 or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye,
or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles;
021:021 no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, who has a blemish,
shall come near to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire.
Since has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread
of his God.
021:022 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy,
and of the holy.
021:023 He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar,
because he has a blemish; that he may not profane my sanctuaries,
for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.'"
021:024 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the
children of Israel.
022:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
022:002 "Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy
things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me,
and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.
