Leviticus 21:1-9
1And Jehovah said to Moses, Speak unto the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none make himself unclean for a dead person among his peoples,
2except for his immediate relation, who is near unto him — for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother;
3and for his sister, a virgin, that is near unto him, who hath had no husband, for her may he make himself unclean.
4He shall not make himself unclean [who is] a chief among his peoples, to profane himself.
5They shall not make any baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6They shall be holy unto their 1God, and not profane the name of their 2God; for they present Jehovah's offerings by fire, the bread of their 3God; therefore shall they be holy.
7They shall not take as wife a whore, or a dishonoured woman; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy unto his 4God.
8And thou shalt hallow him; for the bread of thy 5God doth he present: he shall be holy unto thee; for I, Jehovah, who hallow you am holy.
9And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burned with fire.
