Saving for his kin, that are near unto him, for his mother or for his father, or for his son or for his daughter, or for his brother;

or for his sister, a virgin who is near unto him, who belongeth not unto a husband, - for her, he may make himself unclean:

He shall not make himself unclean being a chief among his people, - by profaning himself:

A woman that is unchaste or dishonoured, shall they not take, And a woman divorced from her husband, shall they not take, - For holy, he is unto his God.

And, as for the high priest from among his brethren upon whose head is poured the anointing oil, and who is installed, by putting on the garments, His head, shall he not bare, And, his garments, shall he not rend;

And, unto no persons b of the dead, shall he go in, - For his father or for his mother, shall he not make himself unclean;

And, out of the sanctuary, shall he not go forth, so shall he not profane the sanctuary of his God, - for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him - I, am Yahweh.

A widow or a divorced woman or one dishonoured - an unchaste woman, these, shall he not take, But, a virgin from among his own kinsfolk, shall he take to wife;

So shall he not profane his seed, among his kinsfolk, - For I - Yahweh, do hallow him.

Speak unto Aaron, saying, - No man of thy seed, unto their generations in whom shall be any blemish, shall come near, to present the food of his God.

No, man in whom is a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest, shall approach, to bring near the altar-flames of Yahweh, - a blemish, is in him, the food of his God, shall he not approach to bring near:

Of the food of his God, both of the most holy, - and the holy, may he eat:

And Moses spake these things unto Aaron, and unto his sons, - and unto all the sons of Israel.

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, That they hold sacredly aloof from the holy things of the sons of Israel, so as not to profane my holy name, - in the things which they are hallowing unto me - I, am Yahweh.

Say unto them - Unto your generations, as touching any man who cometh near from among any of your seed, unto the hallowed things which the sons of Israel may hallow unto Yahweh, while his uncleanness is upon him, then shall that person be cut off from before me - I, am Yahweh.

any person who toucheth any such, shall then be unclean until the evening, - and shall not eat of the hallowed things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.

When the sun tooth in, then is he clean, - and thereafter, he may eat of the hallowed things, for, his food, it is.

But when, a priest, buyeth any person, as the purchase of his silver, he may eat thereof, - and, the children of his household, they, may eat of his food.

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them - What man, soever, of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, may bring near his oblation, as regardeth any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings which they may bring near unto Yahweh, as an ascending-sacrifice,

For, whosoever be the person that shall not be humbled on this selfsame day, then shall he be cut off from among his kinsfolk.
