* 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 ; * Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary , nor profane the sanctuary of his God ; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him : I am the LORD . * And he shall take a wife in her virginity . * A widow , or a divorced woman , or profane , or an harlot , these shall he not take : but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife . * Neither shall he profane his seed among his people : for I the LORD do sanctify him . * And the LORD spake unto Moses , saying , * Speak unto Aaron , saying , Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish , let him not approach to offer the bread of his God . * For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish , he shall not approach : a blind man , or a lame , or he that hath a flat nose , or any thing superfluous , * Or a man that is brokenfooted , or brokenhanded , * Or crookbackt , or a dwarf , or that hath a blemish in his eye , or be scurvy , or scabbed , or hath his stones broken ; * No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire : he hath a blemish ; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God . * He shall eat the bread of his God , both of the most holy , and of the holy . * Only he shall not go in unto the vail , nor come nigh unto the altar , because he hath a blemish ; that he profane not my sanctuaries : for I the LORD do sanctify them .
