Leviticus 21:3 in Context — Leviticus 21

1 L’Éternel dit à Moïse: Parle aux sacrificateurs, fils d’Aaron, et tu leur diras: Un sacrificateur ne se rendra point impur parmi son peuple pour un mort,

2 excepté pour ses plus proches parents, pour sa mère, pour son père, pour son fils, pour son frère,

3 et aussi pour sa sœur encore vierge, qui le touche de près lorsqu’elle n’est pas mariée.

4 Chef parmi son peuple, il ne se rendra point impur en se profanant.

5 Les sacrificateurs ne se feront point de place chauve sur la tête, ils ne raseront point les coins de leur barbe, et ils ne feront point d’incisions dans leur chair.
