1 Of the Priests mourning. 6 Of their holinesse. 8 Of their estimation. 7. 13 Of their Mariages. 16 The Priests that haue blemishes must not minister in the Sanctuarie.
4 But hee shall not defile himselfe being a chiefe man among his people, to prophane himselfe.4
5 They shall not make baldnesse vpon their head, neither shall they shaue off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh:5
11 Neither shall he goe in to any dead body, nor defile himselfe for his father, or for his mother:
13 And he shall take a wife in her virginitie.
15 Neither shal he prophane his seed among his people: for I the Lord doe sanctifie him.
16 ¶ And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
17 Speake vnto Aaron, saying, Whosoeuer he be of thy seed in their generations, that hath any blemish, let him not approche to offer the bread of his God:17
18 For whatsoeuer man hee be that hath a blemish, he shall not approche: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,18
19 Or a man that is broken footed, or broken handed,
20 Or crooke backt, or a dwarfe, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scuruy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken:20
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most Holy, and of the holy:
24 And Moses told it vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes, and vnto all the children of Israel.
