Leviticus 21:1-7

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests, the sons of Aaron, and tell them to not be defiled for the dead among his people.

2 But for his kin, that is near unto him, <em>that is</em>, for his mother and for his father and for his son and for his daughter and for his brother

3 and for his virgin sister, that is near unto him, who has had no husband; for her he may be defiled.

4 He shall not defile himself for the prince among his people, to profane himself.

5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

6 They shall be holy unto their God and not profane the name of their God; for the offerings of the LORD made by fire <em>and</em> the bread of their God they do offer; therefore, they shall be holy.

7 They shall not take a wife <em>that is</em> a whore or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he <em>is</em> holy unto his God.

New International Version NIV

1 The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them: ‘A priest must not make himself ceremonially unclean for any of his people who die,

2 except for a close relative, such as his mother or father, his son or daughter, his brother,

3 or an unmarried sister who is dependent on him since she has no husband—for her he may make himself unclean.

4 He must not make himself unclean for people related to him by marriage, and so defile himself.

5 “ ‘Priests must not shave their heads or shave off the edges of their beards or cut their bodies.

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

7 “ ‘They must not marry women defiled by prostitution or divorced from their husbands, because priests are holy to their God.
