Leviticus 21:7-14

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 1GodH430.

8And thou shalt hallow him; for the breadH3899 of thy 2GodH430 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.

10And the high priestH3548 among his brethren, on whose headH7218 the anointingH4888 oilH8081 was pouredH3332, and who is consecrated to putH3847 on the garmentsH899, shall not uncover his headH7218, nor rend his garmentsH899.

11Neither shall he comeH935 near any personH5315 deadH4191, nor makeH2930 himself uncleanH2930 for his fatherH1 and for his motherH517;

12neither shall he goH3318 out of the sanctuaryH4720, nor profaneH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of his 3GodH430; for the consecration of the anointingH4888 oilH8081 of his 4GodH430 is upon him: I am Jehovah.

13And he shall takeH3947 a wifeH802 in her virginityH1331.

14A widowH490, or a divorced womanH802, or a dishonoured one, a harlot, these shall he not takeH3947; but he shall takeH3947 as wifeH802 a virginH1330 from among his peoplesH5971.
