Leviticus 21:1-8
1And Jehovah saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Speak unto the priestsH3548, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and sayH559 unto them, There shall none defileH2930 himself for the dead among his peopleH5971;
2except for his kin, that is near unto him, for his motherH517, and for his fatherH1, and for his sonH1121, and for his daughterH1323, and for his brotherH251,
3and for his sisterH269 a virginH1330, that is near unto him, that hath had no husbandH376; for her may he defileH2930 himself.
4He shall not defileH2930 himself, being a chief man among his peopleH5971, to profaneH2490 himself.
5They shall not makeH7139 baldnessH7144 upon their headH7218, neither shall they shaveH1548 off the corner of their beardH2206, nor makeH7139 any cuttings in their fleshH1320.
6They shall beH1961 holyH6944 unto their GodH430, and not profaneH2490 the nameH8034 of their GodH430; for the offeringsH801 of Jehovah made by fireH801, the breadH3899 of their GodH430, they do offer: therefore they shall beH1961 holyH6944.
7They shall not takeH3947 a womanH802 that is a harlot, or profane; neither shall they takeH3947 a womanH802 put awayH3947 from her husbandH376: for he is holyH6918 unto his GodH430.
8Thou shalt sanctifyH6942 him therefore; for he offereth the breadH3899 of thy GodH430: he shall beH1961 holyH6918 unto thee; for I Jehovah, who sanctifyH6942 you, am holyH6918.
