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,

2except for his immediate relation, who is near unto him — for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother;

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,

7`A woman, a harlot, or polluted, they do not take, and a woman cast out from her husband they do not take, for he <FI>is<Fi> holy to 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.

8And thou shalt hallow him; for the bread of thyGod doth he present: he shall be holy unto thee; for I, Jehovah, who hallow you am holy.

16And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

16And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

16And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

16And Jehovah speaketh 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.

17Speak unto Aaron, saying, Any of thy seed throughout their generations that hath any defect, shall not approach to present the bread of hisGod;

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.

17`Speak unto Aaron, saying, No man of thy seed to their generations in whom there is blemish doth draw near to bring near 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,

18for whatever man hath a defect, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or one limb longer than the other,

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,

18for no man in whom <FI>is<Fi> blemish doth draw near--a man blind, or lame or dwarfed, or enlarged,

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

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

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

19or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,

20or hump-backed, or a dwarf, or with a mixture in his eye, or a scurvy person, or scabbed, or broken-testicled.

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.

21No man of the seed of Aaron the priest that hath defect shall come near to present Jehovah's offerings by fire: he hath a defect; he shall not come near to present the bread of hisGod.

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.

21`No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) doth come nigh to bring near the fire-offerings of Jehovah; blemish <FI>is<Fi> in him; the bread of his God he doth not come nigh to bring near.

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

22The bread of hisGod, of the most holy and of the holy, shall he eat;

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

22`Bread of his God--of the most holy things, and of the holy things--he doth eat;

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.

23only he shall not come in unto the veil, nor shall he draw near unto the altar; for he hath a defect: that he profane not my sanctuaries; for I am Jehovah who do hallow them.

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.

23only, unto the vail he doth not enter, and unto the altar he doth not draw nigh; for blemish <FI>is<Fi> in him; and he doth not pollute My sanctuaries; for I <FI>am<Fi> Jehovah, sanctifying them.'
