³ Lại hãy lấy một chảo sắt, đặt nó làm cái tường sắt giữa ngươi và thành; rồi ngươi xây mặt lại cùng nó; nó sẽ bị vây, và ngươi sẽ vây nó. Ðó sẽ là một điềm cho nhà Y-sơ-ra-ên.

²³ Khăn các ngươi sẽ để yên trên đầu, giày các ngươi sẽ mang luôn dưới chơn; các ngươi không kêu thương, không khóc lóc; song sẽ bị hao mòn vì cớ tội ác mình, và các ngươi cùng nhau than thở.

² "Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.

³ "Tell them, 'If anyone of all your seed throughout your generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh.

⁴ "'Whoever of the seed of Aaron is a leper or has an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him;

⁵ or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;

⁶ the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water.

⁷ When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.

⁸ That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.
