레위기 21

1여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 아론의 자손 제사장들에게 고하여 이르라 백성 중의 죽은 자로 인하여 스스로 더럽히지 말려니와 2골육지친인 부모나 자녀나 형제나 3출가하지 아니한 처녀인 친 자매로 인하여는 몸을 더럽힐 수 있느니라 4제사장은 백성의 어른인즉 스스로 더럽혀 욕되게 하지 말지니라 5제사장은 머리털을 깎아 대머리 같게 하지 말며 그 수염 양편을 깎지 말며 살을 베지 말고 6그 하나님께 대하여 거룩하고 그 하나님의 이름을 욕되게 하지 말 것이며 그들은 여호와의 화제 곧 그 하나님의 식물을 드리는 자인즉 거룩할 것이라 7그들은 기생이나 부정한 여인을 취하지 말 것이며 이혼 당한 여인을 취하지 말지니 이는 그가 여호와께 거룩함이니라 8너는 그를 거룩하게 하라 그는 네 하나님의 식물을 드림이니라 너는 그를 거룩히 여기라 나 여호와 너희를 거룩하게 하는 자는 거룩함이니라 9아무 제사장의 딸이든지 행음하여 스스로 더럽히면 그 아비를 욕되게 함이니 그를 불사를지니라 10자기 형제 중 관유로 부음을 받고 위임되어 예복을 입은 대제사장은 그 머리를 풀지 말며 그 옷을 찢지 말며 11어떤 시체에든지 가까이 말지니 부모로 인하여도 더러워지게 말며 12성소에서 나오지 말며 그 하나님의 성소를 더럽히지 말라 이는 하나님의 위임한 관유가 그 위에 있음이니라 나는 여호와니라 13그는 처녀를 취하여 아내를 삼을지니 14과부나 이혼된 여인이나 더러운 여인이나 기생을 취하지 말고 자기 백성 중 처녀를 취하여 아내를 삼아 15그 자손으로 백성 중에서 더럽히지 말지니 나는 그를 거룩하게 하는 여호와임이니라 16여호와께서 모세에게 일러 가라사대 17아론에게 고하여 이르라 무릇 너의 대대 자손 중 육체에 흠이 있는 자는 그 하나님의 식물을 드리려고 가까이 오지 못할 것이라 18무릇 흠이 있는 자는 가까이 못할지니 곧 소경이나 절뚝발이나 코가 불완전한 자나 지체가 더한 자나 19발 부러진 자나 손 부러진 자나 20곱사등이나 난장이나 눈에 백막이 있는 자나 괴혈병이나 버짐이 있는 자나 불알 상한 자나 21제사장 아론의 자손 중에 흠이 있는 자는 나아와 여호와의 화제를 드리지 못할지니 그는 흠이 있은즉 나아와 하나님의 식물을 드리지 못하느니라 22그는 하나님의 식물의 지성물이든지 성물이든지 먹을 것이나 23장 안에 들어가지 못할 것이요 단에 가까이 못할지니 이는 그가 흠이 있음이라 이와 같이 그가 나의 성소를 더럽히지 못할 것은 나는 그들을 거룩하게 하는 여호와임이니라 24모세가 이대로 아론과 그 아들들과 온 이스라엘 자손에게 고하였더라

1Yahweh said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people; 2except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother, 3and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself. 4He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself. 5“‘They shall not shave their heads, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 6They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy. 7“‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane; neither shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband; for he is holy to his God. 8You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you; for I Yahweh, who sanctify you, am holy. 9“‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall be burned with fire. 10“‘He who is the high priest among his brothers, 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 hang loose, nor tear 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 Yahweh. 13“‘He shall take a wife in her virginity. 14A widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute, these he shall not marry: but a virgin of his own people shall he take as a wife. 15He shall not profane his seed among his people, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies him.’” 16Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 17“Say to Aaron, ‘None of your seed throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the bread of his God. 18For whatever man he is that has a defect, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity, 19or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand, 20or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles. 21No man of the seed of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God. 22He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy. 23He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a defect; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’” 24So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.

1Daarna zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Spreek tot de priesters, de zonen van Aaron, en zeg tot hen: Over een dode zal een priester zich niet verontreinigen onder zijn volken. 2Behalve over zijn bloedvriend, die hem ten naaste bestaat, over zijn moeder en over zijn vader, en over zijn zoon, en over zijn dochter, en over zijn broeder. 3En over zijn zuster, die maagd is, hem nabestaande, die nog geen man toebehoord heeft; over die zal hij zich verontreinigen. 4Hij zal zich niet verontreinigen over een overste onder zijn volken, om zich te ontheiligen. 5Zij zullen op hun hoofd geen kaalheid maken, en zullen den hoek van hun baard niet afscheren, en in hun vlees zullen zij geen sneden snijden. 6Zij zullen hun God heilig zijn, en den Naam huns Gods zullen zij niet ontheiligen; want zij offeren de vuurofferen des HEEREN, de spijze huns Gods; daarom zullen zij heilig zijn. 7Zij zullen geen vrouw nemen, die een hoer of ontheiligde is, noch een vrouw nemen, die van haar man verstoten is; want hij is zijn God heilig. 8Daarom zult gij hem heiligen, omdat hij de spijze uws Gods offert; hij zal u heilig zijn, want Ik ben heilig; Ik ben de HEERE, Die u heilige! 9Als nu de dochter van enigen priester zal beginnen te hoereren, zij ontheiligt haar vader; met vuur zal zij verbrand worden. 10En hij, die de hogepriester onder zijn broederen is, op wiens hoofd de zalfolie gegoten is, en wiens hand men gevuld heeft, om die klederen aan te trekken, zal zijn hoofd niet ontbloten, noch zijn klederen scheuren. 11Hij zal ook bij geen dode lichamen komen; zelfs over zijn vader en over zijn moeder zal hij zich niet verontreinigen. 12En uit het heiligdom zal hij niet uitgaan, dat hij het heiligdom zijns Gods niet ontheilige, want de kroon der zalfolie zijns Gods is op hem; Ik ben de HEERE! 13Hij zal ook een vrouw in haar maagdom nemen. 14Een weduwe, of verstotene, of ontheiligde hoer, dezulke zal hij niet nemen; maar een maagd uit zijn volken zal hij tot een vrouw nemen. 15En hij zal zijn zaad onder zijn volken niet ontheiligen; want Ik ben de HEERE, Die hem heilige! 16Wijders sprak de HEERE tot Mozes, zeggende: 17Spreek tot Aaron, zeggende: Niemand uit uw zaad, naar hun geslachten, in wien een gebrek zal zijn, zal naderen, om de spijze zijns Gods te offeren. 18Want geen man, in wien een gebrek zal zijn, zal naderen, hij zij een blind man, of kreupel, of te kort, of te lang in leden; 19Of een man, in wien een breuk des voets, of een breuk der hand zal zijn; 20Of die bultachtig, of dwergachtig zal zijn, of een vel op zijn oog zal hebben, of droge schurftheid, of etterige schurftheid, of die gebroken zal zijn aan zijn gemacht. 21Geen man, uit het zaad van Aaron, den priester, in wien een gebrek is, zal toetreden om de vuurofferen des HEEREN te offeren; een gebrek is in hem, hij zal niet toetreden, om de spijs zijns Gods te offeren. 22De spijs zijns Gods, van de allerheiligste dingen, en van de heilige dingen, zal hij mogen eten; 23Doch tot den voorhang zal hij niet komen, en tot het altaar niet toetreden, omdat een gebrek in hem is; opdat hij Mijn heiligdommen niet ontheilige; want Ik ben de HEERE, Die hen heilige! 24En Mozes sprak zulks tot Aaron en tot zijn zonen, en tot al de kinderen Israels.
