¶ The .xxj. Chapter.
And the Lord said unto Moses: speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron and say unto them. A priest shall defile him self at the death of none of his people, but upon his kin that is nigh unto him: as his mother, father, son, daughter and brother: and on his sister as long as she is a maid and dwelleth nigh him and was never given to man: on her he may defile him self. But he shall not make him self unclean upon a ruler of his people to pollute him self with all.
ANd the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: speake vnto the preastes the sonnes of Aaron and saye vnto them. A preast shall defile him selfe at the deth of none of his people, but apon his kyn that is nye vnto him: as his mother, father, sonne, doughter and brother: and on his syster as lōge as she is a mayde ād dwelleth nye him and was neuer geuen to man: on her he maye defile him selfe. But he shall not make him selfe vncleane vpon a ruelar of his people to polute him selfe with all.
They shall make them no baldness upon their1 heeds or shave off the locks of their beards, nor make any marks in their flesh. They shall be holy unto their God, and not pollute the name of their god, for the sacrifices of the Lord and the bred of their God they do offer: therefore they must be holy.
