Leviticus 21:11 in Context — Leviticus 21

9 Si la fille d’un sacrificateur se déshonore en se prostituant, elle déshonore son père: elle sera brûlée au feu.

10 Le sacrificateur qui a la supériorité sur ses frères, sur la tête duquel a été répandue l’huile d’onction, et qui a été consacré et revêtu des vêtements sacrés, ne découvrira point sa tête et ne déchirera point ses vêtements.

11 Il n’ira vers aucun mort, il ne se rendra point impur, ni pour son père, ni pour sa mère.

12 Il ne sortira point du sanctuaire, et ne profanera point le sanctuaire de son Dieu; car l’huile d’onction de son Dieu est une couronne sur lui. Je suis l’Éternel.

13 Il prendra pour femme une vierge.
