Leviticus 21:1-9
1And Jehovah saidH559 to MosesH4872, Speak unto the priestsH3548, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and sayH559 unto them, There shall none makeH2930 himself uncleanH2930 for a dead personH5315 among his peoplesH5971,
2except for his immediate relation, who 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, who hath had no husbandH376, for her may he makeH2930 himself uncleanH2930.
4He shall not makeH2930 himself uncleanH2930 [who is] a chief among his peoplesH5971, to profaneH2490 himself.
5They shall not makeH7139 any baldnessH7144 upon their headH7218, neither shall they shaveH1548 off the cornersH6285 of their beardH2206, nor makeH7139 any cuttings in their fleshH1320.
6They shall beH1961 holyH6944 unto their 1GodH430, and not profaneH2490 the nameH8034 of their 2GodH430; for they presentH7126 Jehovah's offeringsH801 by fireH801, the breadH3899 of their 3GodH430; therefore shall they beH1961 holyH6944.
7They shall not takeH3947 as wifeH802 a whore, or a dishonoured womanH802; neither shall they takeH3947 a womanH802 put awayH3947 from her husbandH376; for he is holyH6918 unto his 4GodH430.
8And thou shalt hallow him; for the breadH3899 of thy 5GodH430 doth he presentH7126: he shall beH1961 holyH6918 unto thee; for I, Jehovah, who hallow you am holyH6918.
9And the daughterH1323 of any priestH3548, if she profaneH2490 herself by playingH2181 the whore, she profaneth her fatherH1: she shall be burnedH8313 with fireH784.
