Imamat 21:11-12

21:11 He must not go where there is any dead person; ¹  he must not defile himself even for his father and his mother. 21:12 He must not go out from the sanctuary and must not profane ²  the sanctuary of his God, because the dedication of the anointing oil of his God is on him. I am the Lord.

[21:11]  ¹ tc Although the MT has “persons” (plural), the LXX and Syriac have the singular “person” corresponding to the singular adjectival participle “dead” (cf. also Num 6:6).

[21:12]  ² sn Regarding “profane,” see the note on Lev 10:10 above.
