Leviticus 21
21
1And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], Speak unto the priests the sons of Aharon [Bright, Very High], and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
2But for his family, that is near unto him, [that is], 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, which has had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
4 [But] he shall not defile himself, [being] a chief man among his people, to Profane (treat as common; defile) 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-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and not Profane (treat as common; defile) the name of their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: for the offerings of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) made by fire, [and] the bread of their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.
7They shall not take a wife [that is] a whore, or Profane (treat as common; defile); neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he [is] holy unto his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
8youi shall sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) him therefore; for he offers the bread of youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: he shall be holy unto youi: for I the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), which sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) you, [am] holy.
9And the daughter of any priest, if she Profane (treat as common; defile) herself by playing the whore, she profanes her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
10And [he that is] the High Priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend (tear apart; forcefully rip apart) 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 (treat as common; defile) the sanctuary of his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] upon him: I [am] the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
13And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
14A widow, or a divorced woman, or Profane (treat as common; defile), [or] an prostitute, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.
15Neither shall he Profane (treat as common; defile) his seed among his people: for I the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) do sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) him.
16And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke unto Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], saying,
17Speak unto Aharon [Bright, Very High], saying, Whosoever [he be] of youi seed in their generations that has [any] blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
18For whatsoever man [he be] that has a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that has a flat nose, or anything superfluous (more than necessary or wanted),
19Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
20Or crookback, or a dwarf, or that has a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or has his stones broken;
21No man that has a blemish of the seed of Aharon [Bright, Very High] the priest shall come near to offer the offerings of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) made by fire: he has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
22He shall eat the bread of his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], [both] of the most holy, and of the holy.
23Only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come near unto the altar, because he has a blemish; that he Profane (treat as common; defile) not my sanctuaries: for I the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) do sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) them.
24And Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] told [it] unto Aharon [Bright, Very High], and to his sons, and unto all the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
