Leviticus 21:1–7

1  And Jehovah said to Moses, Speak unto the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none make himself unclean for a dead person among his peoples, 2  except for his immediate relation, who is near unto him—for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother; 3  and for his sister, a virgin, that is near unto him, who hath had no husband, for her may he make himself unclean. 4  He shall not make himself unclean who is a chief among his peoples, to profane himself. 5  They shall not make any baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 6  They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they present Jehovah’s offerings by fire, the bread of their God; therefore shall they be holy. 7  They shall not take as wife a whore, or a dishonoured woman; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy unto his God.
