God instructed Moshe to relay the priestly laws to the Kohanim. The regulations included prohibitions such as avoiding contact with the deceased, refraining from shaving any parts of their heads or beards, and abstaining from gashing their flesh. Marriage restrictions were also outlined, prohibiting unions with harlots or divorcees. The High Priest was directed not to bare his head, tear his vestments, or come near any deceased, even those of close kin. Marriage was to be solely with specific individuals.
Additionally, priests with disabilities were ineligible to offer sacrifices, and those contaminated were not permitted to partake in sacrificial meat. Specific individuals were excluded from sharing in sacrificial offerings, which were only accepted from animals without defects. God commanded Moshe to instruct the Israelites on the observance of sacred occasions, including Shabbas, Pesach, Shavuos, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkos.
It was emphasized that the Tabernacle lamps were to be lit with olive oil and that twelve loaves were baked for the Kohanim on Shabbas.
A man of mixed heritage who blasphemed was brought before Moshe, leading to God's decree for communal punishment. Blasphemers and those cursing God were to face death penalties, while restitution was required for those who killed or maimed others.
