1Καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων Εἰπὸν τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ααρων καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς Ἑν ταῖς ψυχαῖς οὐ μιανθήσονται ἐν τῷ ἔθνει αὐτῶν And the Lord spoke to Moses saying Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron and thou shalt tell them [that] they shall not defile themselves in their nation for the deadHoliness of priests. Lv.21.1-24
2ἀλλ' ἢ ἐν τῷ οἰκείῳ τῷ ἔγγιστα αὐτῶν, ἐπὶ πατρὶ καὶ μητρὶ καὶ υἱοῖς καὶ θυγατράσιν, ἐπ' ἀδελφῷ but [they may mourn] for a relative who is very near to them for a father and mother and sons and daughters for a brother 
3καὶ ἐπ' ἀδελφῇ παρθένῳ τῇ ἐγγιζούσῃ αὐτῷ τῇ μὴ ἐκδεδομένῃ ἀνδρί, ἐπὶ τούτοις μιανθήσεται. and for a virgin sister that is near to one that is not espoused to a man; for these one shall defile himself. 
4οὐ μιανθήσεται ἐξάπινα ἐν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ εἰς βεβήλωσιν αὐτοῦ. He shall not defile himself suddenly among his people to profane himself. 
5καὶ φαλάκρωμα οὐ ξυρηθήσεσθε τὴν κεφαλὴν ἐπὶ νεκρῷ καὶ τὴν ὄψιν τοῦ πώγωνος οὐ ξυρήσονται καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς σάρκας αὐτῶν οὐ κατατεμοῦσιν ἐντομίδας. And ye shall not shave your head for the dead with a baldness on the top; and they shall not shave their beard neither shall they make gashes on their flesh. 
6ἅγιοι ἔσονται τῷ θεῷ αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ βεβηλώσουσιν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτῶν· τὰς γὰρ θυσίας κυρίου δῶρα τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτῶν αὐτοὶ προσφέρουσιν καὶ ἔσονται ἅγιοι. They shall be holy to their God and they shall not profane the name of their God; for they offer the sacrifices of the Lord as the gifts of their God and they shall be holy. 
7γυναῖκα πόρνην καὶ βεβηλωμένην οὐ λήμψονται καὶ γυναῖκα ἐκβεβλημένην ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς· ἅγιός ἐστιν τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ αὐτοῦ. They shall not take a woman who is a harlot and profaned or a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy to the Lord his God.

9καὶ θυγάτηρ ἀνθρώπου ἱερέως ἐὰν βεβηλωθῇ τοῦ ἐκπορνεῦσαι, τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς αὐτὴ βεβηλοῖ· ἐπὶ πυρὸς κατακαυθήσεται. And if the daughter of a priest should be profaned to go a whoring she profanes the name of her father: she shall be burnt with fire. 
10Καὶ ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ μέγας ἀπὸ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ, τοῦ ἐπικεχυμένου ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ ἐλαίου τοῦ χριστοῦ καὶ τετελειωμένου ἐνδύσασθαι τὰ ἱμάτια, τὴν κεφαλὴν οὐκ ἀποκιδαρώσει καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια οὐ διαρρήξει And the priest that is chief among his brethren the oil having been poured upon the head of the anointed one and he having been consecrated to put on the garments shall not take the mitre off his head and shall not rend his garments: 
11καὶ ἐπὶ πάσῃ ψυχῇ τετελευτηκυίᾳ οὐκ εἰσελεύσεται, ἐπὶ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ ἐπὶ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ οὐ μιανθήσεται· neither shall he go in to any dead body neither shall he defile himself for his father or his mother. 
12καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἁγίων οὐκ ἐξελεύσεται καὶ οὐ βεβηλώσει τὸ ἡγιασμένον τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι τὸ ἅγιον ἔλαιον τὸ χριστὸν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπ' αὐτῷ· ἐγὼ κύριος. And he shall not go forth out of the sanctuary and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God because the holy anointing oil of God [is] upon him: I [am] the Lord. 
13οὗτος γυναῖκα παρθένον ἐκ τοῦ γένους αὐτοῦ λήμψεται· He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe.

15καὶ οὐ βεβηλώσει τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ· ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ ἁγιάζων αὐτόν. And he shall not profane his seed among his people: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies him. 
16Καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων And the Lord spoke to Moses saying 
17Εἰπὸν Ααρων Ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τοῦ γένους σου εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν, τίνι ἐὰν ᾖ ἐν αὐτῷ μῶμος, οὐ προσελεύσεται προσφέρειν τὰ δῶρα τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ. Say to Aaron A man of thy tribe throughout your generations who shall have a blemish on him shall not draw nigh to offer the gifts of his God. 
18πᾶς ἄνθρωπος, ᾧ ἂν ᾖ ἐν αὐτῷ μῶμος, οὐ προσελεύσεται, ἄνθρωπος χωλὸς ἢ τυφλὸς ἢ κολοβόρριν ἢ ὠτότμητος No man who has a blemish on him shall draw nigh; a man blind lame with his nose disfigured or his ears cut 
19ἢ ἄνθρωπος, ᾧ ἐστιν ἐν αὐτῷ σύντριμμα χειρὸς ἢ σύντριμμα ποδός, a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot 
20ἢ κυρτὸς ἢ ἔφηλος ἢ πτίλος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἢ ἄνθρωπος, ᾧ ἂν ᾖ ἐν αὐτῷ ψώρα ἀγρία ἢ λιχήν, ἢ μόνορχις, or hump-backed or blear-eyed or that has lost his eye-lashes or a man who has a malignant ulcer or tetter 
21πᾶς, ᾧ ἐστιν ἐν αὐτῷ μῶμος, ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος Ααρων τοῦ ἱερέως, οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ τοῦ προσενεγκεῖν τὰς θυσίας τῷ θεῷ σου· ὅτι μῶμος ἐν αὐτῷ, τὰ δῶρα τοῦ θεοῦ οὐ προσελεύσεται προσενεγκεῖν. Whoever of the seed of Aaron the priest has a blemish on him shall not draw nigh to offer sacrifices to thy God because he has a blemish on him; he shall not draw nigh to offer the gifts of God. 
22τὰ δῶρα τοῦ θεοῦ τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁγίων φάγεται· The gifts of God [are] most holy and he shall eat of the holy things. 
23πλὴν πρὸς τὸ καταπέτασμα οὐ προσελεύσεται καὶ πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ, ὅτι μῶμον ἔχει· καὶ οὐ βεβηλώσει τὸ ἅγιον τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος ὁ ἁγιάζων αὐτούς. Only he shall not approach the veil and he shall not draw nigh to the altar because he has a blemish; and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God for I am the Lord that sanctifies them. 
24καὶ ἐλάλησεν Μωϋσῆς πρὸς Ααρων καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ πρὸς πάντας υἱοὺς Ισραηλ. And Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons and to all the children of Israel.

Notes:The Old Testament in Greek is Rahlf's LXX available in Word format at the Tyndale website, adapted to database format.
The alternative readings of the LXX - Judges (Alexandrinus), Daniel, Susanna & Bel (LXX received text), and Tobit (Sinaiticus [not printed in Swete]) as separate book references so that they can be viewed as an alternative text in parallel with the primary text.
(I have reversed the Swete presentation for Daniel, Susanna, Bel by listing in the later Theodotion LXX text as the main text.)
The LXX cross references to the Hebrew Bible have been extensively revised using those set out in Swete's 'Old Testament in Greek' publications between 1894 and 1909, amended in part to agree with verses as printed in the Biblia Hebraica 1937 publication).
Some verse cross references in Swete's had to be amended to agree with the BHS verse numbering, and there may well be some mismatches that I haven't yet picked up on. (If you find any errors please e-mail me.)
Hebrew Bible has been adapted from the BHS in Word format at Tyndale.
The Septuagint in English ( translated by Sir Lancelot CL Brenton) - is used here only for the books of the Hebrew Bible.
The Revised Standard Version: This generally follows the Hebrew Bible for the canonical OT so I have included the RSV Aprocrypha for the Greek books not covered by Brenton.
Ecclesiasticus - Sirach Chs.30-36: The text of these chapters from 30.24 to 36.16, is disordered.
I have followed Swete's verse numbering for the greek text.
Also, the RSV verse numbering differs from the NRSV.
The NRSV appears to have followed Swete's numbering here, so I have re-ordered the RSV to agree with both the NRSV & Swete for these chapters.

Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976.
