  • Newari: “Any of priest Aaron’s descendants who has a defect is not to come before me to offer a special gift. He has a defect. He is not to be allowed to [lit.: not to have the chance to] offer a grain sacrifice to his God.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “So if one of the descendants of Aaron has a defect, he is- not -allowed to-offer to me, and he is- also not -allowed to-go-inside the Holy Place and go- near to the altar for my Tent will-get- dirty/unclean. But he may/is-allowed to-eat the food which is the share/portion of them who (are) priests in the holy offering and the most holy offering. I (am) the LORD who separates/sets-apart you (plur.) for myself.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “No descendant of Aaron, the first Supreme Priest, who has any defect is allowed to come to the altar to offer to me, his God, sacrifices that will be burned.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
