Leviticus 21:7-15

7They shall notH3808 takeH3947 a womanH802 that is a harlotH2181, or profaneH2491; neitherH3808 shall they takeH3947 a womanH802 putH3947 awayH3947 from herH3947 husbandH376: for he is holyH6918 unto his GodH430.

8Thou shalt sanctifyH6942 him therefore; for he offereth the breadH3899 of thy GodH430: he shall be holyH6918 unto thee: for I the LORDH3068, whichH1931 sanctifyH6942 youH3588, am holyH6918.

9And the daughterH1323 of anyH376 priestH3548, ifH3588 sheH1931 profaneH2490 herselfH1931 by playingH2181 the harlotH2181, sheH1931 profaneth herH3588 fatherH1: sheH1931 shall be burntH8313 with fireH784.

10And he that is the highH1419 priestH3548 among his brethrenH251, uponH5921 whoseH834 headH7218 the anointingH4888 oilH8081 is pouredH3332, and that is consecrated to putH3847 on the garmentsH899, shall notH3808 letH3808 the hairH7218 of his headH7218 go looseH5921, norH3808 rend his clothesH899;

11neitherH3808 shall he goH935 in to anyH3605 deadH4191 bodyH5315, norH3808 defileH2930 himselfH5315 for his fatherH1, or for his motherH517;

12neitherH3808 shall he goH3318 outH3318 of the sanctuaryH4720, norH3808 profaneH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of his GodH430; for the crownH5145 of the anointingH4888 oilH8081 of his GodH430 is uponH5921 him: I am the LORDH3068.

13And he shall takeH3947 a wifeH802 in herH3947 virginityH1331.

14A widowH490, or one divorcedH1644, or a profaneH2491 womanH802, an harlotH2181, theseH428 shall he notH3808 takeH3947: but a virginH1330 of his own peopleH5971 shall he takeH3947 to wifeH802.

15And he shall notH3808 profaneH2490 his seedH2233 among his peopleH5971: for I am the LORDH3068 which sanctifyH6942 him.
