Leviticus 21:10-23

¹⁰And the high priest among his brethren, on whose head the anointing oil was poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his garments.

¹¹Neither shall he come near any person dead, nor make himself unclean for his father and for his mother;

¹²neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am Jehovah.

¹³And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

¹⁴A widow, or a divorced woman, or a dishonoured one, a harlot, these shall he not take; but he shall take as wife a virgin from among his peoples.

¹⁵And he shall not profane his seed among his peoples; for I am Jehovah who do hallow him.

¹⁶And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁷Speak unto Aaron, saying, Any of thy seed throughout their generations that hath any defect, shall not approach to present the bread of his God;

¹⁸for whatever man hath a defect, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or one limb longer than the other,

¹⁹or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,

²⁰or hump-backed, or withered, or that hath a spot in his eye, or hath the itch, or scabs, or his testicles broken.

²¹No man of the seed of Aaron the priest that hath defect shall come near to present Jehovah's offerings by fire: he hath a defect; he shall not come near to present the bread of his God.

²²The bread of his God, of the most holy and of the holy, shall he eat;

²³only he shall not come in unto the veil, nor shall he draw near unto the altar; for he hath a defect: that he profane not my sanctuaries; for I am Jehovah who do hallow them.
