Leviticus 21:7-15
7A priest must notH3808 marryH3947H802 a womanH802 defiledH2491 by prostitutionH2181 orH3808 divorcedH1644 by her husbandH376, forH3588 the priest is holyH6918 to his GodH430. 8You are to regard him as holyH6942, sinceH3588 heH1931 presentsH7126 the foodH3899 of your GodH430. He shall beH1961 holyH6918 to you, becauseH3588 IH589 the LORDH3068 am holyH6918—I who set you apartH6942. 9IfH3588 a priest’sH3548 daughterH1323H376 defiles herselfH2490 by prostituting herselfH2181, sheH1931 profanesH2490 her fatherH1; she must be burnedH8313 in the fireH784.
10The priestH3548 who is highestH1419 among his brothersH251, whoH834 has had the anointingH4888 oilH8081 pouredH3332 onH5921 his headH7218 and has been ordainedH4390 to wearH3847 the priestly garmentsH899, must not letH3808 his hairH7218 hang looseH65441 or tearH6533 his garmentsH899H3808. 11He must notH3808 goH935 near anyH3605 deadH4191 bodyH5315; he must notH3808 defile himselfH2930, even for his fatherH1 or motherH517. 12He must notH3808 leaveH3318H3808 or desecrateH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of his GodH430, forH3588 the consecrationH5145 of the anointingH4888 oilH8081 of his GodH430 is on himH5921. IH589 am the LORDH3068.
13The womanH802 heH1931 marriesH3947 must be a virginH1331. 14He is notH3808 to marryH3947H3588H518 a widowH490, a divorced womanH1644, or one defiledH2491 by prostitutionH2181. He is to marryH3947H802 a virginH1330 from his own peopleH5971, 15so that he does notH3808 defileH2490 his offspringH2233 among his peopleH5971, forH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068 who sanctifies himH6942.”
