Leviticus 21:7-15

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 1God.

8And thou shalt hallow him; for the bread of thy 2God 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.

10And the high priest among his brethren, on whose head the anointing oil was poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his garments.

11Neither shall he come near any person dead, nor make himself unclean for his father and for his mother;

12neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his 3God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his 4God is upon him: I am Jehovah.

13And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

14A widow, or a divorced woman, or a dishonoured one, a harlot, these shall he not take; but he shall take as wife a virgin from among his peoples.

15And he shall not profane his seed among his peoples; for I am Jehovah who do hallow him.
