Leviticus 21:7-15
71They shall not takeH3947 a womanH802 who is a prostituteH2181 and 2profanedH2491, norH3808 shall they takeH3947 a womanH802 divorcedH1644 from her husbandH376; for he is holyH6918 to his GodH430. 8You shall consecrateH6942 him, therefore, becauseH3588 he offersH7126 3the foodH3899 of your GodH430. He shall be holyH6918 to you; for I the LordH3068, who sanctifiesH6942 you, am holyH6918. 94Also the daughterH1323 of anyH376 priestH3548, ifH3588 she profanesH2490 herself by prostitutionH2181, she profanesH2490 her fatherH1; she shall be burnedH8313 with fireH784.
10‘The priestH3548 who is 5highestH1419 amongH4480 his brothersH251, on whoseH834 headH7218 the anointingH4888 oilH8081 has been pouredH3332 and 6who has been consecratedH4390H3027 to wearH3847 the garmentsH899, 7shall not 8uncoverH6544 his headH7218 norH3808 tearH6533 his clothesH899; 119norH3808 shall he approachH935 anyH3605 deadH4191 personH5315, norH3808 defileH2930 himself even for his fatherH1 or his motherH517; 1210norH3808 shall he leaveH3318 the sanctuaryH4720 norH3808 profaneH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of his GodH430, for 11the consecrationH5145 of the anointingH4888 oilH8081 of his GodH430 is on him; I am the LordH3068. 13He shall takeH3947 a wifeH802 in her virginityH1331. 1412A widowH490, or a divorcedH1644 woman, or one who is profanedH2491 by prostitutionH2181, theseH428 he shall not takeH3947; but ratherH3588H518 he is to 13marryH3947 a virginH1330 of his own peopleH5971, 15so that he will not profaneH2490 his 14childrenH2233 among his peopleH5971; for I am the LordH3068 who sanctifiesH6942 him.’”
