Adonoy said to Moshe; speak, to the kohanim, the sons of Aharon, and you shall say to them, let him not defile himself with the dead among his people.

And the Lord said to Moshe, Speak to the priests the sons of Aharon, and say to them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:

And the L-rd said to Moses: Speak to the Cohanim, [(excluding chalalim, those unfit to minister)], the sons of Aaron, [(even those with blemishes) (and not the daughters of Aaron)], and say to them [(adults being exhorted in respect to minors)]: For a dead body he (a Cohein) shall not become unclean among his people [i.e., when the dead one is "among his people," excluding a meth mitzvah (one who has no one else to bury him)].

Except to his kin to whom he is closely related, for his mother and his father, for his son, his daughter and for his brother.

but for his kin, that is near to him, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son and for his daughter, and for his brother,

Only for his flesh [his wife] that is near to him, his mother and his father, his son and his daughter and his brother.

For his virgin sister, to whom he is closely related, who has not yet been married, for her, he may be defiled.

and for his sister a virgin, that is near to him, and who has had no husband; for her may he be defiled.

And for his sister, the virgin, who is near to him [(including one who is betrothed)], who was not wed to a man [for cohabitation] — for her shall he make himself unclean.

A husband may not defile himself among his people [for a wife through whom] he becomes profaned.

But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.

A husband (who is a Cohein) shall not defile himself [for his wife when she is] in [the midst of] his people [i.e., when there are others to bury her (in which instance she is not a meth mitzvah). (And the wife spoken of here is one)] through whom he is profaned [(made a chalal) by living with her].

They shall not make baldness on their heads and the corners of their beards they shall not shave, and they shall not make gashes in their flesh.

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

They shall not make a baldness upon their head [for one who dies], and the corner of their beard they shall not shave off [with a razor], and in their flesh they shall not make any cutting [(There is liability for each cutting.)]

They shall be holy to their God and they shall not profane the Name of their God, for [it is] the fire-offerings of Adonoy, the bread of their God [that] they bring [offer], and they must [therefore] be holy.

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

Holy shall they be, [perforce. Beth-din compels them to remain holy (i.e., not to make themselves unclean)] to their G-d, and they shall not profane the name of their G-d; for the fire-offerings of the L-rd, the bread of their G-d, they offer up — and they shall be holy.

A harlot or a profaned woman they shall not marry. A woman divorced from her husband they shall not marry, for he is holy to his God.

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

A woman who is a harlot or profaned (chalalah) [a woman born of those unfit for the priesthood, e.g., the daughter of a widow by a high-priest, or of a divorced woman by an ordinary priest, or a woman who cohabited with one unfit for the priesthood] they shall not take; for he is holy to his G-d.

You shall make him holy for he offers the bread of your God; he shall be holy unto you for I, Adonoy, am holy, Who makes you holy.

Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of thy God: he shall be holy to thee: for I the Lord, who sanctify you, am holy.

And you shall make him holy, [perforce. (If he refuses to divorce her, lash him and afflict him until he does so)], for he offers up the bread of your G-d; holy shall he be unto you [(Relate to him with holiness, having him initiate all things and giving him precedence in blessing at the meal)], for holy am I the L-rd, who sanctifies you.

The daughter of a kohein, who profanes herself by fornication—she profanes her father— she shall be burned with fire.

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

And the [betrothed or married] daughter of a man who is a Cohein, if she profane herself through fornication, she profanes her father [(They say about him: "Cursed be he who begot such as she! Cursed be he who raised such as she!")]; in fire shall she be burned.

The kohein who is greatest among his brethren upon whose head was poured the anointing oil; whose hands were consecrated to put on the special garments; shall not let his hair grow wild and he shall not tear his garments.

And 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 suffer the hair of his head to grow long, nor rend his clothes;

And the Cohein who is greater than his brothers (i.e., the high-priest), upon whose head the oil of anointment has been poured, and who has been invested to wear the garments — his hair he shall not grow long [for more than thirty days (in mourning)] and his clothes he shall not rend.

And adjacent to any dead body he shall not enter. For his father and mother he shall not become [ritually] impure.

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

And to any (kol) dead body [(kol) including a revi'ith of blood of a dead person, which causes uncleanliness in a tent)] he shall not come [(into the tent of the dead)]. For his father and for his mother he shall not become unclean, [but he may become unclean for a meth mitzvah].

He shall not depart from the Sanctuary and he shall not profane his Gods Sanctuary, for the crown of his Gods anointing oil is upon him, I am Adonoy.

neither 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 the Lord.

And from the sanctuary he shall not go out [He does not follow the litter, and he sacrifices even when he is an onein (before the burial)], and he does not profane the sanctuary of his G-d [thereby (But an ordinary Cohein who serves when he is an onein does)], for the crown of the anointing oil of his G-d is upon him; I am the L-rd.

He shall marry [only] a virgin.

And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

And he, a woman in her virginity he shall take.

A widow, divorcee, profaned woman or harlot; he may not marry [any] of these. But only a virgin from his own people may he marry.

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

A widow, and a divorced woman, and a chalalah [a woman born of those unfit for the priesthood], (and) a harlot — these he shall not take; but only a virgin from his people shall he take as a wife.

He shall not profane his offspring among his people, for I am Adonoy, who makes him holy.

Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the Lord do sanctify him.

And he shall not profane his seed among his people [(If he does take one of them, his child is a chalal)]; for I am the L-rd who makes him holy.

Adonoy spoke to Moshe, saying;

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

And the L-rd spoke to Moses, saying:

Speak to Aharon saying; Anyone of your offspring, through [all] their generations who will have a blemish, shall not approach to offer the bread of his God.

speak to Aharon, saying, Whoever he be of thy seed in their generations that has any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

Speak to Aaron, saying: A man of your seed, through their generations, who will have in him a blemish, shall not come near to offer up the bread [i.e., "the food"] of his G-d.

For any man who has a blemish shall not approach; a blind man or a lame man, or a man with a sunken nose, or a man who has disproportionate limbs.

For whatever 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,

For any man who has in him a blemish, [by right] should not come near [to do so]: a man who is blind, or lame, or sunken-nosed, or asymmetrical [of limb or organ].

or a man who has a broken (crippled) foot, or a broken (crippled) hand,

or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,

Or a man who is broken-footed or broken-handed.

or one with overhanging eyebrows, or with a cataract, or a disarrangement [in the eye], or one with scurf or scabs, or one with crushed testicles.

or crookbacked, or a dwarf, or that has a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or whose stones are crushed.

Or gibein [having long, flattened eye-brows] or dak [having a membrane over the eyes] or tevalul [having a disorientation of the black-white arrangement] of his eye, or [having] garav or yalefeth [types of skin conditions] or meroach ashech [having crushed testicles].

Any man who has a blemish, who is a descendant of Aharon the kohein, shall not approach to offer the fire-offerings of Adonoy. He has a blemish; the bread of his God he may not approach to offer [as an offering].

No man that has a blemish of the seed of Aharon the priest shall come near to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.

Every man who has a blemish [(Other blemishes are hereby included)] in him [(While it is in him he is pasul; if it leaves, he is kasher)] of the seed of Aaron the Cohein, shall not come near to offer up the fire-offerings of the L-rd. There is a blemish in him; the bread of his G-d he shall not come near to offer up.

The bread of his God which is of the most holy, and from the holy [offerings] he may eat.

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

The bread of his G-d, of the holy of holies [(higher-order sanctities)], and of the holies [(lower-order sanctities)], he may eat.

However, he may not enter beyond the Curtain and he shall not approach the Altar for he has a blemish and he shall not profane My holy things, for I am Adonoy, who sanctifies them.

Only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he profane not my holy places: for I the Lord do sanctify them.

But to the parocheth [to sprinkle the seven sprinklings] and to the [outer] altar he shall not come near, for a blemish is in him; and he shall not profane My holy places [(If he does serve, the service is profaned and is pasul)]; for I am the L-rd who sanctifies them.

Moshe spoke [these words] to Aharon, and to his sons and to all of Bnei Yisroel.

And Moshe spoke to Aharon, and to his sons, and to all the children of Yisra᾽el.

And Moses spoke [(He related) this mitzvah] to Aaron and his sons and to all the children of Israel [(exhorting beth-din vis-à-vis the Cohanim)].
