Leviticus 21:6-15

⁶They shall be holy before their God, and shall not profane the Name of their God; for they offer the oblations of the Lord their God, and they shall be holy.

⁷They shall not take to wife a woman who is a harlot, or one who is corrupted, nor may they take a woman who hath been put away from her husband; for (the priest is to be) holy before his God.

⁸Thou shalt consecrate him, for he is to offer the oblation of thy God: he shall be sacred to thee; for I the Lord, who sanctify you, am Holy.

⁹And if the daughter of a man who is a priest profane herself by becoming an harlot, she hath profaned the sanctity of her father; she shall be burned with fire.

¹⁰And the (high) priest who hath been consecrated from his brethren, upon whose head hath been poured the oil of consecration, and who, at the offering of his oblation, is arrayed with the (holy) robes, shall not make bare his head, nor rend his garments.

¹¹Nor shall he enter unto any dead body, nor defile himself for his father or his mother.

¹²And he shall not go out from the sanctuary nor defile the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.

¹³And he shall take a wife in her virginity;

¹⁴A widow, or a divorced person, or a corrupt harlot, these he shall not take; but a virgin from his people shall he take for a wife.

¹⁵And his offspring he shall not profane among his people; for I the Lord do sanctify him.
