Leviticus 21:4 in Context — Leviticus 21

2 Mas por su pariente cercano á sí, por su madre, ó por su padre, ó por su hijo, ó por su hermano,

3 O por su hermana virgen, á él cercana, la cual no haya tenido marido, por ella se contaminará.

4 No se contaminará, [porque es] príncipe en sus pueblos, haciéndose inmundo.

5 No harán calva en su cabeza, ni raerán la punta de su barba, ni en su carne harán rasguños.

6 Santos serán á su Dios, y no profanarán el nombre de su Dios; porque los fuegos de Jehová y el pan de su Dios ofrecen: por tanto serán santos.
