Leviticus 21

The Message Bible MSG

1 God spoke to Moses: "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron. Tell them, A priest must not ritually contaminate himself by touching the dead,

2 except for close relatives: mother, father, son, daughter, brother,

3 or an unmarried sister who is dependent on him since she has no husband; for these he may make himself ritually unclean,

4 but he must not contaminate himself with the dead who are only related to him by marriage and thus profane himself.

5 "Priests must not shave their heads or trim their beards or gash their bodies.

6 They must be holy to their God and must not profane the name of their God. Because their job is to present the gifts of God, the food of their God, they are to be holy.

7 "Because a priest is holy to his God he must not marry a woman who has been a harlot or a cult prostitute or a divorced woman.

8 Make sure he is holy because he serves the food of your God. Treat him as holy because I, God, who make you holy, am holy.

9 "If a priest's daughter defiles herself in prostitution, she disgraces her father. She must be burned at the stake.

10 "The high priest, the one among his brothers who has received the anointing oil poured on his head and been ordained to wear the priestly vestments, must not let his hair go wild and tangled nor wear ragged and torn clothes.

11 He must not enter a room where there is a dead body. He must not ritually contaminate himself, even for his father or mother;

12 and he must neither abandon nor desecrate the Sanctuary of his God because of the dedication of the anointing oil which is upon him. I am God.

13 "He is to marry a young virgin,

14 not a widow, not a divorcee, not a cult prostitute - he is only to marry a virgin from his own people.

15 He must not defile his descendants among his people because I am God who makes him holy."

16 God spoke to Moses:

17 "Tell Aaron, None of your descendants, in any generation to come, who has a defect of any kind may present as an offering the food of his God.

18 That means anyone who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed,

19 crippled in foot or hand,

20 hunchbacked or dwarfed, who has anything wrong with his eyes, who has running sores or damaged testicles.

21 No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to offer gifts to God; he has a defect and so must not offer the food of his God.

22 He may eat the food of his God, both the most holy and the holy,

23 but because of his defect he must not go near the curtain or approach the Altar. It would desecrate my Sanctuary. I am God who makes them holy."

24 Moses delivered this message to Aaron, his sons, and to all the People of Israel.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 dixit quoque Dominus ad Mosen loquere ad sacerdotes filios Aaron et dices eis ne contaminetur sacerdos in mortibus civium suorum

2 nisi tantum in consanguineis ac propinquis id est super matre et patre et filio ac filia fratre quoque

3 et sorore virgine quae non est nupta viro

4 sed nec in principe populi sui contaminabitur

5 non radent caput nec barbam neque in carnibus suis facient incisuras

6 sancti erunt Deo suo et non polluent nomen eius incensum enim Domini et panes Dei sui offerunt et ideo sancti erunt

7 scortum et vile prostibulum non ducet uxorem nec eam quae repudiata est a marito quia consecratus est Deo suo

8 et panes propositionis offert sit ergo sanctus quia et ego sanctus sum Dominus qui sanctifico vos

9 sacerdotis filia si deprehensa fuerit in stupro et violaverit nomen patris sui flammis exuretur

10 pontifex id est sacerdos maximus inter fratres suos super cuius caput fusum est unctionis oleum et cuius manus in sacerdotio consecratae sunt vestitusque est sanctis vestibus caput suum non discoperiet vestimenta non scindet

11 et ad omnem mortuum non ingredietur omnino super patre quoque suo et matre non contaminabitur

12 nec egredietur de sanctis ne polluat sanctuarium Domini quia oleum sanctae unctionis Dei sui super eum est ego Dominus

13 virginem ducet uxorem

14 viduam et repudiatam et sordidam atque meretricem non accipiet sed puellam de populo suo

15 ne commisceat stirpem generis sui vulgo gentis suae quia ego Dominus qui sanctifico eum

16 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

17 loquere ad Aaron homo de semine tuo per familias qui habuerit maculam non offeret panes Deo suo

18 nec accedet ad ministerium eius si caecus fuerit si claudus si vel parvo vel grandi et torto naso

19 si fracto pede si manu

20 si gibbus si lippus si albuginem habens in oculo si iugem scabiem si inpetiginem in corpore vel hirniosus

21 omnis qui habuerit maculam de semine Aaron sacerdotis non accedet offerre hostias Domino nec panes Deo suo

22 vescetur tamen panibus qui offeruntur in sanctuario

23 ita dumtaxat ut intra velum non ingrediatur nec accedat ad altare quia maculam habet et contaminare non debet sanctuarium meum ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos

24 locutus est ergo Moses ad Aaron et filios eius et ad omnem Israhel cuncta quae sibi fuerant imperata
