Leviticus 21:5-17

⁵they do not make baldness on their head, and the corner of their beard they do not shave, and in their flesh they do not make a cutting;

⁶they are holy to their God, and they pollute not the name of their God, for the fire-offerings of Jehovah, bread of their God, they are bringing near, and have been holy.

⁸and thou hast sanctified him, for the bread of thy God he is bringing near; he is holy to thee; for holy am I, Jehovah, sanctifying you.

¹⁰'And the high priest of his brethren, on whose head is poured the anointing oil, and hath consecrated his hand to put on the garments, his head doth not uncover, nor rend his garments,

¹¹nor beside any dead person doth he come; for his father and for his mother he doth not defile himself;

¹²nor from the sanctuary doth he go out, nor doth he pollute the sanctuary of his God, for the separation of the anointing oil of his God is on him; I am Jehovah.

¹³'And he taketh a wife in her virginity;

¹⁴widow, or cast out, or polluted one — a harlot — these he doth not take, but a virgin of his own people he doth take for a wife,

¹⁵and he doth not pollute his seed among his people; for I am Jehovah, sanctifying him.'

¹⁶And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹⁷'Speak unto Aaron, saying, No man of thy seed to their generations in whom there is blemish doth draw near to bring near the bread of his God,
