Holy

You are to consider him holy since he presents the food of your God. He will be holy to you because I, Yahweh who sets you apart, am holy.

So Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord meant when He said:

I will show My holiness

to those who are near Me,
and I will reveal My glory

before all the people.”

But Aaron remained silent.

“You are to make a pure gold medallion and engrave it, like the engraving of a seal:

HOLY TO THE LORD.

I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar; I will also consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve Me as priests.

Then I said to them, “You are holy to the Lord, and the articles are holy. The silver and gold are a freewill offering to the Lord God of your fathers.

But you are a chosen race,

a royal priesthood,

a holy nation,

a people for His possession,

so that you may proclaim the praises

of the One who called you out of darkness
into His marvelous light.

Profane

“You are not to make any of your children pass through the fire to Molech. Do not profane the name of your God; I am Yahweh.

You must not swear falsely by My name, profaning the name of your God; I am Yahweh.

Bread

Then the priest will burn the food on the altar, as a fire offering to the Lord.

“By presenting defiled food on My altar.”

You ask: “How have we defiled You?”

When you say: “The Lord’s table is contemptible.”

Therefore

Leave, leave, go out from there!
Do not touch anything unclean;
go out from her, purify yourselves,
you who carry the vessels of the Lord.

General references

A priest may not come near a dead person so that he becomes defiled. However, he may defile himself for a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a brother, or an unmarried sister.
