or unmarried sister living in his house.

He shall not make himself unclean at the death of those related to him by marriage.

A priest shall not marry a woman who has been a prostitute or a woman who is not a virgin or who is divorced; he is holy.

If a priest's daughter becomes a prostitute, she disgraces her father; she shall be burned to death.

not a widow or a divorced woman or a woman who has been a prostitute. He shall marry only a virgin from his own clan.

19
no one with a crippled hand or foot;
20
no one who is a hunchback or a dwarf; no one with any eye or skin disease; and no eunuch.
21
No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any physical defects may present the food offering to me.

Such a man may eat the food offered to me, both the holy food offering and the very holy food offering,
Numbers 16:16-50
16
Moses said to Korah, "Tomorrow you and your 250 followers must come to the Tent of the LORD's presence; Aaron will also be there.
17
Each of you will take his fire pan, put incense on it, and then present it at the altar."
18
So they each took their fire pans, put live coals and incense on them, and stood at the entrance of the Tent with Moses and Aaron.
19
Then Korah gathered the whole community, and they stood facing Moses and Aaron at the entrance of the Tent. Suddenly the dazzling light of the LORD's presence appeared to the whole community,
20
and the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
21
"Move back from these people, and I will destroy them immediately."
22
But Moses and Aaron bowed down with their faces to the ground and said, "O God, you are the source of all life. When one of us sins, do you become angry with the whole community?"
23
The LORD said to Moses,
24
"Tell the people to move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram."
25
Then Moses, accompanied by the leaders of Israel, went to Dathan and Abiram.
26
He said to the people, "Get away from the tents of these wicked men and don't touch anything that belongs to them. Otherwise, you will be wiped out with them for all their sins."
27
So they moved away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram had come out and were standing at the entrance of their tents, with their wives and children.
28
Moses said to the people, "This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things and that it is not by my own choice that I have done them.
29
If these men die a natural death without some punishment from God, then the LORD did not send me.
30
But if the LORD does something unheard of, and the earth opens up and swallows them with all they own, so that they go down alive to the world of the dead, you will know that these men have rejected the LORD."
31
As soon as he had finished speaking, the ground under Dathan and Abiram split open
32
and swallowed them and their families, together with all of Korah's followers and their possessions.
33
So they went down alive to the world of the dead, with their possessions. The earth closed over them, and they vanished.
34
All the people of Israel who were there fled when they heard their cry. They shouted, "Run! The earth might swallow us too!"
35
Then the LORD sent a fire that blazed out and burned up the 250 men who had presented the incense.
36
Then the LORD said to Moses,
37
"Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to remove the bronze fire pans from the remains of those who have been burned, and scatter the coals from the fire pans somewhere else, because the fire pans are holy.
38
They became holy when they were presented at the LORD's altar. So take the fire pans of these who were put to death for their sin, beat them into thin plates, and make a covering for the altar. It will be a warning to the people of Israel."
39
So Eleazar the priest took the fire pans and had them beaten into thin plates to make a covering for the altar.
40
This was a warning to the Israelites that no one who was not a descendant of Aaron should come to the altar to burn incense for the LORD. Otherwise he would be destroyed like Korah and his men. All this was done as the LORD had commanded Eleazar through Moses.
41
The next day the whole community complained against Moses and Aaron and said, "You have killed some of the LORD's people."
42
After they had all gathered to protest to Moses and Aaron, they turned toward the Tent and saw that the cloud was covering it and that the dazzling light of the LORD's presence had appeared.
43
Moses and Aaron went and stood in front of the Tent,
44
and the LORD said to Moses,
45
"Move back from these people, and I will destroy them on the spot!" The two of them bowed down with their faces to the ground,
46
and Moses said to Aaron, "Take your fire pan, put live coals from the altar in it, and put some incense on the coals. Then hurry with it to the people and perform the ritual of purification for them. Hurry! The LORD's anger has already broken out and an epidemic has already begun."
47
Aaron obeyed, took his fire pan and ran into the middle of the assembled people. When he saw that the plague had already begun, he put the incense on the coals and performed the ritual of purification for the people.
48
This stopped the plague, and he was left standing between the living and the dead.
49
The number of people who died was 14,700, not counting those who died in Korah's rebellion.
50
When the plague had stopped, Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance of the Tent.
Numbers 17:1-13
1
The LORD said to Moses,
2
"Tell the people of Israel to give you twelve walking sticks, one from the leader of each tribe. Write each man's name on his stick
3
and then write Aaron's name on the stick representing Levi. There will be one stick for each tribal leader.
4
Take them to the Tent of my presence and put them in front of the Covenant Box, where I meet you.
5
Then the stick of the man I have chosen will sprout. In this way I will put a stop to the constant complaining of these Israelites against you."
6
So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a stick, one for each tribe, twelve in all, and Aaron's stick was put with them.
7
Moses then put all the sticks in the Tent in front of the LORD's Covenant Box.
8
The next day, when Moses went into the Tent, he saw that Aaron's stick, representing the tribe of Levi, had sprouted. It had budded, blossomed, and produced ripe almonds!
9
Moses took all the sticks and showed them to the Israelites. They saw what had happened, and each leader took his own stick back.
10
The LORD said to Moses, "Put Aaron's stick back in front of the Covenant Box. It is to be kept as a warning to the rebel Israelites that they will die unless their complaining stops."
11
Moses did as the LORD commanded.
12
The people of Israel said to Moses, "Then that's the end of us!
13
If anyone who even comes near the Tent must die, then we are all as good as dead!"
Deuteronomy 18:1-8
1
"The priestly tribe of Levi is not to receive any share of land in Israel; instead, they are to live on the offerings and other sacrifices given to the LORD.
2
They are to own no land, as the other tribes do; their share is the privilege of being the LORD's priests, as the LORD has promised.
3
"Whenever cattle or sheep are sacrificed, the priests are to be given the shoulder, the jaw, and the stomach.
4
They are to receive the first share of the grain, wine, olive oil, and wool.
5
The LORD chose from all your tribes the tribe of Levi to serve him as priests forever.
6
"Any Levite who wants to may come from any town in Israel to the one place of worship
7
and may serve there as a priest of the LORD his God, like the other Levites who are serving there.
8
He is to receive the same amount of food as the other priests, and he may keep whatever his family sends him.
Hebrews 7:11-14
11
It was on the basis of the levitical priesthood that the Law was given to the people of Israel. Now, if the work of the levitical priests had been perfect, there would have been no need for a different kind of priest to appear, one who is in the priestly order of Melchizedek, not of Aaron.
12
For when the priesthood is changed, there also has to be a change in the law.
13
And our Lord, of whom these things are said, belonged to a different tribe, and no member of his tribe ever served as a priest.
14
It is well known that he was born a member of the tribe of Judah; and Moses did not mention this tribe when he spoke of priests.

The LORD said to Moses,
12
"When you take a census of the people of Israel, each man is to pay me a price for his life, so that no disaster will come on him while the census is being taken.
13
Everyone included in the census must pay the required amount of money, weighed according to the official standard. Everyone must pay this as an offering to me.
14
Everyone being counted in the census, that is, every man twenty years old or older, is to pay me this amount.
15
The rich man is not to pay more, nor the poor man less, when they pay this amount for their lives.
16
Collect this money from the people of Israel and spend it for the upkeep of the Tent of my presence. This tax will be the payment for their lives, and I will remember to protect them."
