Leviticus

祭司圣洁的条例

1耶和华对摩西说：「你告诉亚伦子孙作祭司的说：祭司不可为民中的死人沾染自己，

2除非为他骨肉之亲的父母、儿女、弟兄，

3和未曾出嫁、作处女的姊妹，才可以沾染自己。

4祭司既在民中为首，就不可从俗沾染自己。

5不可使头光秃；不可剃除胡须的周围，也不可用刀划身。

6要归 神为圣，不可亵渎 神的名；因为耶和华的火祭，就是 神的食物，是他们献的，所以他们要成为圣。

7不可娶妓女或被污的女人为妻，也不可娶被休的妇人为妻，因为祭司是归 神为圣。

8所以你要使他成圣，因为他奉献你 神的食物；你要以他为圣，因为我—使你们成圣的耶和华—是圣的。

9祭司的女儿若行淫辱没自己，就辱没了父亲，必用火将她焚烧。

10「在弟兄中作大祭司、头上倒了膏油、又承接圣职、穿了圣衣的，不可蓬头散发，也不可撕裂衣服。

11不可挨近死尸，也不可为父母沾染自己。

12不可出圣所，也不可亵渎 神的圣所，因为 神膏油的冠冕在他头上。我是耶和华。

13他要娶处女为妻。

14寡妇或是被休的妇人，或是被污为妓的女人，都不可娶；只可娶本民中的处女为妻。

15不可在民中辱没他的儿女，因为我是叫他成圣的耶和华。」

16耶和华对摩西说：

17「你告诉亚伦说：你世世代代的后裔，凡有残疾的，都不可近前来献他 神的食物。

18因为凡有残疾的，无论是瞎眼的、瘸腿的、塌鼻子的、肢体有余的、

19折脚折手的、

20驼背的、矮矬的、眼睛有毛病的、长癣的、长疥的，或是损坏肾子的，都不可近前来。

21祭司亚伦的后裔，凡有残疾的，都不可近前来，将火祭献给耶和华。他有残疾，不可近前来献 神的食物。

22神的食物，无论是圣的，至圣的，他都可以吃。

23但不可进到幔子前，也不可就近坛前；因为他有残疾，免得亵渎我的圣所。我是叫他成圣的耶和华。」

24于是，摩西晓谕亚伦和亚伦的子孙，并以色列众人。

1And Jehovah said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none defile himself for the dead among his people;

2except for his kin, that is near unto him, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,

3and for his sister a virgin, that is near unto him, that hath had no husband; for her may he defile himself.

4He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.

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

6They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God; for the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.

7They shall not take a woman that is a harlot, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God.

8Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee; for I Jehovah, who sanctify you, am holy.

9And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the harlot, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.

10And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head go loose, nor rend his clothes;

11neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;

12neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am Jehovah.

13And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

14A widow, or one divorced, or a profane woman, a harlot, these shall he not take: but a virgin of his own people shall he take to wife.

15And he shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth him.

16And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

17Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed throughout their generations that hath a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

18For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or anything superfluous,

19or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,

20or crook-backed, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or is scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;

21no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a blemish, shall come nigh to offer the offerings of Jehovah made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

22He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy:

23only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

24So Moses spake unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
