Leviticus 21:7-15
7They are not to marry a woman defiled by prostitution. They are not to marry one divorced by her husband, for the priest is holy to his God.
8You are to consider him holy since he presents the food of your God. He will be holy to you because I, the Lord who sets you apart, am holy.
9If a priest’s daughter defiles herself by promiscuity, she defiles her father; she must be burned to death.
10“The priest who is highest among his brothers, who has had the anointing oil poured on his head and has been ordained to wear the clothes, must not dishevel his hair or tear his clothes.
11He must not go near any dead person or make himself unclean even for his father or mother.
12He must not leave the sanctuary or he will desecrate the sanctuary of his God, for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is on him; I am the Lord.
13“He is to marry a woman who is a virgin.
14He is not to marry a widow, a divorced woman, or one defiled by prostitution. He is to marry a virgin from his own people,
15so that he does not corrupt his bloodline among his people, for I am the Lord who sets him apart.”
