| 6. Formal Translation They shall be holy{kedoshim: consecrated, set-apart} to their God and must not profane the name of their God. Because they offer the fire-offerings of the LORD{Yahweh, Covenant Sustainer}—the bread of their God—they shall be holy. |
| 6. Dynamic Translation The priests must be holy to their God and must not profane the name of their God. Because they offer the food sacrifices of the LORD{Yahweh, Worship Giver}—the bread of their God—they must remain holy. |
