Leviticus:21:1-11

*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron ,
and say unto them ,
There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people :
*
But for his kin ,
that is near unto him ,
that is ,
for his mother ,
and for his father ,
and for his son ,
and for his daughter ,
and for his brother ,
*
And for his sister a virgin ,
that is nigh unto him ,
which hath had no husband ;
for her may he be defiled .
*
But he shall not defile himself ,
being a chief man among his people ,
to profane himself .
*
They shall not make baldness upon their head ,
neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard ,
nor make any cuttings in their flesh .
*
They shall be holy unto their God ,
and not profane the name of their God :
for the offerings of the LORD made by fire ,
and the bread of their God ,
they do offer :
therefore they shall be holy .
*
They shall not take a wife that is a whore ,
or profane ;
neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband :
for he is holy unto his God .
*
Thou shalt sanctify him therefore ;
for he offereth the bread of thy God :
he shall be holy unto thee :
for I the LORD ,
which sanctify you ,
am holy .
*
And the daughter of any priest ,
if she profane herself by playing the whore ,
she profaneth her father :
she shall be burnt with fire .
*
And he that is the high priest among his brethren ,
upon whose head the anointing oil was poured ,
and that is consecrated to put on the garments ,
shall not uncover his head ,
nor rend his clothes ;
*
Neither shall he go in to any dead body ,
nor defile himself for his father ,
or for his mother ;
