- "They shall be¹ holy²¹ unto their God,ª and not¹ profaneª° the nameª of their God:ª for¹¹ the offerings²° of the LORD² made by fire,ª¹ [and] the breadª of their God,ª they¹ do offer:ª° therefore they shall be¹ holy.²¹" {Lev 21:6} + "Thou shalt sanctifyª° him therefore; for¹ he¹ offerethª°¹ the breadª of thy God:ª he shall be¹ holyª unto thee: for¹ I¹ the LORD,ª which sanctifyª° you, [am] holy.ª" {Lev 21:8} + "No¹¹ manª that¹ hath a blemishª of the seedª¹ of Aaronª the priestª shall come nighª° to offerª°¹ the offerings²° of the LORD² made by fire:ª¹ he hath a blemish;ª he shall not¹ come nighª° to offerª°¹ the breadª of his God.ª ... He shall eatª° the breadª of his God,ª [both] of the most² holy,ª¹ and of¹ the holy.ª" {Lev 21:21-22} + "Ye offerª° pollutedª° breadª upon¹ mine altar;ª and ye say,ª° Wherein¹ have we pollutedª° thee?
