Leviticus 21:7-15

7A priest must not marry a woman who has left her husband. He must not marry a woman if men have paid her to have sex with her. He must not marry a woman whose husband has sent her away. A priest must be holy.

8A priest is holy because he sacrifices the people's offerings to God. A priest is holy because I, the Lord, am holy.

9A priest's daughter must not have sex with men who pay her. That would make her unclean. She would take away her father's honour. If she does not obey, you must burn her in a fire.

10They have poured special oil on the leader of the priests' head to show that he is greater than his brothers. He must wear special clothes. He must comb his hair. He must not tear his clothes.

11He must not go into a room where there is a dead body. Even if it is the body of his parent, he must not go in. It will make him unclean.

12He must not leave the house of God. He has the holy oil on his head. He must be separate. I am the Lord.

13The leader of the priests must marry a woman who has not had sex before.

14The woman must not have had a husband who died. She must not have a husband that she has left. Men must not have paid to have sex with her. She must be a woman from Israel's people,

15so that their children will be holy. I am the Lord. I make priests holy.’
