21:1
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Moses
<04872>_,
Speak
<0559> (8798)
unto the priests
<03548>
the sons
<01121>
of Aaron
<0175>_,
and say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, There shall none be defiled
<02930> (8691)
for the dead
<05315>
among his people
<05971>_:
21:2
But for his kin
<07607>_,
that is near
<07138>
unto him, [that is], for his mother
<0517>_,
and for his father
<01>_,
and for his son
<01121>_,
and for his daughter
<01323>_,
and for his brother
<0251>_,
21:3
And for his sister
<0269>
a virgin
<01330>_,
that is nigh
<07138>
unto him, which hath had no husband
<0376>_;
for her may he be defiled
<02930> (8691)_.
21:4
[But] he shall not defile
<02930> (8691)
himself, [being] a chief man
<01167>
among his people
<05971>_,
to profane
<02490> (8736)
himself. {he...: or, being an husband among his people, he shall not defile himself for his wife, etc}
21:5
They shall not make
<07139> (8799)
baldness
<07144>
upon their head
<07218>_,
neither shall they shave off
<01548> (8762)
the corner
<06285>
of their beard
<02206>_,
nor make
<08295> (8799)
any cuttings
<08296>
in their flesh
<01320>_.
21:6
They shall be holy
<06944>
unto their God
<0430>_,
and not profane
<02490> (8762)
the name
<08034>
of their God
<0430>_:
for the offerings
<0801> (0)
of the LORD
<03068>
made by fire
<0801>_,
[and] the bread
<03899>
of their God
<0430>_,
they do offer
<07126> (8688)_:
therefore they shall be holy
<06918>_.

<03947> (8799)
a wife
<0802>
[that is] a whore
<02181> (8802)_,
or profane
<02491>_;
neither shall they take
<03947> (8799)
a woman
<0802>
put away
<01644> (8803)
from her husband
<0376>_:
for he [is] holy
<06918>
unto his God
<0430>_.
21:8
Thou shalt sanctify
<06942> (8765)
him therefore; for he offereth
<07126> (8688)
the bread
<03899>
of thy God
<0430>_:
he shall be holy
<06918>
unto thee: for I the LORD
<03068>_,
which sanctify
<06942> (8764)
you, [am] holy
<06918>_.
21:9
And the daughter
<01323>
of any
<0376>
priest
<03548>_,
if she profane
<02490> (8735)
herself by playing the whore
<02181> (8800)_,
she profaneth
<02490> (8764)
her father
<01>_:
she shall be burnt
<08313> (8735)
with fire
<0784>_.
21:10
And [he that is] the high
<01419>
priest
<03548>
among his brethren
<0251>_,
upon whose head
<07218>
the anointing
<04888>
oil
<08081>
was poured
<03332> (8714)_,
and that is consecrated
<04390> (8765) <03027>
to put
<03847> (8800)
on the garments
<0899>_,
shall not uncover
<06544> (8799)
his head
<07218>_,
nor rend
<06533> (8799)
his clothes
<0899>_;
21:11
Neither shall he go in
<0935> (8799)
to any dead
<04191> (8801)
body
<05315>_,
nor defile
<02930> (8691)
himself for his father
<01>_,
or for his mother
<0517>_;
21:12
Neither shall he go out
<03318> (8799)
of the sanctuary
<04720>_,
nor profane
<02490> (8762)
the sanctuary
<04720>
of his God
<0430>_;
for the crown
<05145>
of the anointing
<04888>
oil
<08081>
of his God
<0430>
[is] upon him: I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
21:13

<03947> (8799)
a wife
<0802>
in her virginity

or a divorced woman
<01644> (8803)_,
or profane
<02491>_,
[or] an harlot
<02181> (8802)_,
these shall he not take
<03947> (8799)_:
but he shall take
<03947> (8799)
a virgin
<01330>
of his own people
<05971>
to wife
<0802>_.
21:15
Neither shall he profane
<02490> (8762)
his seed
<02233>
among his people
<05971>_:
for I the LORD

do sanctify

him.

to offer
<07126> (8687)
the offerings
<0801> (0)
of the LORD

do sanctify
