21:1

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

Speak
<0559> (8798)

unto the priests
<03548>

the sons
<01121>

of Aaron
<0175>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, There shall none be defiled
<02930> (8691)

for the dead
<05315>

among his people
<05971>_:

21:2

But for his kin
<07607>_,

that is near
<07138>

unto him, [that is], for his mother
<0517>_,

and for his father
<01>_,

and for his son
<01121>_,

and for his daughter
<01323>_,

and for his brother
<0251>_,

21:3

And for his sister
<0269>

a virgin
<01330>_,

that is nigh
<07138>

unto him, which hath had no husband
<0376>_;

for her may he be defiled
<02930> (8691)_.

21:4

[But] he shall not defile
<02930> (8691)

himself, [being] a chief man
<01167>

among his people
<05971>_,

to profane
<02490> (8736)

himself. {he...: or, being an husband among his people, he shall not defile himself for his wife, etc}

21:5

They shall not make
<07139> (8799)

baldness
<07144>

upon their head
<07218>_,

neither shall they shave off

the corner
<06285>

of their beard
<02206>_,

nor make
<08295> (8799)

<06944>

unto their God
<0430>_,

and not profane
<02490> (8762)

the name
<08034>

of their God
<0430>_:

for the offerings
<0801> (0)

of the LORD
<03068>

made by fire
<0801>_,

[and] the bread
<03899>

of their God
<0430>_,

they do offer
<07126> (8688)_:

<03947> (8799)

neither shall they take
<03947> (8799)

a woman
<0802>

put away
<01644> (8803)

from her husband
<0376>_:

for he [is] holy
<06918>

unto his God
<0430>_.

21:8

Thou shalt sanctify
<06942> (8765)

him therefore; for he offereth
<07126> (8688)

the bread
<03899>

of thy God
<0430>_:

he shall be holy
<06918>

unto thee: for I the LORD
<03068>_,

which sanctify
<06942> (8764)

you, [am] holy
<06918>_.

<01323>

of any
<0376>

<03548>_,

if she profane
<02490> (8735)

herself by playing the whore
<02181> (8800)_,

she profaneth
<02490> (8764)

her father
<01>_:

she shall be burnt
<08313> (8735)

with fire
<0784>_.

21:10

And [he that is] the high
<01419>

himself for his father
<01>_,

or for his mother
<0517>_;

21:12

<03318> (8799)

of the sanctuary
<04720>_,

<0430>_;

for the crown
<05145>

of the anointing
<04888>

oil
<08081>

of his God
<0430>

[is] upon him: I [am] the LORD

but he shall take
<03947> (8799)

a virgin
<01330>

of his own people
<05971>

to wife
<0802>_.

21:15

<02490> (8762)

his seed

to offer
<07126> (8687)

the offerings
<0801> (0)

of the LORD
<03068>

do sanctify
<06942> (8764)

them.
