Wird sie aber eine Witwe oder ausgestoßen und hat keine Kinder und kommt wieder zu ihres Vaters Hause, so soll sie essen von ihres Vaters Brot, wie da sie noch Jungfrau war. Aber kein Fremdling soll davon essen.
Pero si la hija del sacerdote fuere viuda, o repudiada, y no tuviere prole, y se hubiere vuelto a la casa de su padre, como en su mocedad, comerá del pan de su padre; mas ningún extraño coma de él.
Mais la fille d'un sacrificateur qui sera veuve ou répudiée, sans avoir d'enfants, et qui retournera dans la maison de son père comme dans sa jeunesse, pourra manger de la nourriture de son père. Aucun étranger n'en mangera.
Ma, se la figliuola del sacerdote è vedova, o ripudiata, senza aver figliuoli, e torna a stare in casa di suo padre, come nella sua fanciullezza; ella potrà mangiar delle vivande di suo padre; ma niuno straniere ne mangi.
Mas quando a filha do sacerdote for viúva ou repudiada, e não tiver filho, e se houver tornado à casa de seu pai, como na sua mocidade, do pão de seu pai comerá; mas nenhum estranho comerá dele.
但祭司的女兒若成為寡婦或被休,又沒有後裔,她回到父家,好像年輕的時候,就可以吃她父親的食物。只是任何外人都不可吃它。
