Holiness for the priests · Leviticus 21–22
Holiness for the priests (Leviticus 21–22) read aloud, in a fresh direct translation from the Hebrew - plain modern English, nothing added.
Translator's notes:
• Leviticus 21:4 — בַּעַל (ba'al): chose "as a husband". Alternatives: "as a chief man", "for a married relative". Why: the word can mean husband, owner, or chief; the marital sense fits the surrounding kinship list.
