Then the LORD said to Moses , “ Speak to Aaron’s sons , the priests , and tell them (that) (a priest) is not to defile himself for a dead person among his people ,
| LXX |
except ... for his immediate ... family — his mother , father , son , daughter , or brother ,
| LXX |
or his unmarried sister who is near to him , since she has no husband -.
| LXX |
He is not to defile himself for those related to him by marriage ... , and so profane himself.
| LXX |
Priests must not make bald ... spots on their heads , shave off the edges of their beards , ... ... or make cuts in their bodies. ...
| LXX |
They must be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God. Because - they present to the LORD the offerings made by fire , the food of their God , they must be holy.
| LXX |
(A priest) must not marry ... a woman defiled by prostitution or - divorced by her husband , for (the priest) is holy to his God.
| LXX |
You are to regard him as holy , since - he presents the food of your God. He shall be holy because I the LORD am holy — I who set you apart.
| LXX |
If a priest’s daughter ... defiles herself by prostituting herself , - she profanes her father ; she must be burned in the fire.
| LXX |
The priest who is highest among his brothers , who has had the anointing oil poured on his head and has been ordained - - to wear - the priestly garments , - must not {let} his hair hang loose or tear his garments ....
| LXX |
- He must not go near any dead body ; he must not defile himself , even for his father or mother.
| LXX |
- He must not leave ... - or desecrate - the sanctuary of his God , for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is on him. I am the LORD.
| LXX |
The woman he marries must be a virgin.
| LXX |
He is not to marry ... ... a widow , a divorced woman , or one defiled by prostitution. - - He is to marry ... a virgin from his own people ,
| LXX |
so that he does not defile his offspring among his people , for I am the LORD who sanctifies him. ”
| LXX |
Then the LORD said to Moses ... ,
| LXX |
“ Say to Aaron - , ‘ For the generations to come , - none of your descendants who has a physical defect may approach to offer the food of his God.
| LXX |
- No ... man who has any defect may approach — no man who is blind , lame , ... disfigured , ... or deformed ;
| LXX |
no man who has a broken foot or ... hand ,
| LXX |
or who is a hunchback or dwarf , or who has an eye defect , a festering rash , ... scabs , ... or a crushed testicle.
| LXX |
No ... descendant of Aaron the priest ... who has a defect shall approach to present - the offerings made by fire to the LORD. (Since) he has a defect - , he is not to come near to offer the food of his God.
| LXX |
He may eat the most holy food of his God as well as the holy (food) ,
| LXX |
but because he has a defect - he must not go ... near the veil or approach the altar , vvv so as not to desecrate - My sanctuaries. For I am the LORD who sanctifies them. ’”
| LXX |
Moses told this to Aaron and his sons ... and to all the Israelites ....
