Leviticus 21:10-15

« Lev 20Lev 21Lev 22 »

10 ‘And the priest who is the highest among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil has been poured and ¹who has been ordained to wear the garments, ^ashall not ²uncover his head nor tear his clothes; 11 ^anor shall he approach any dead person nor defile himself even for his father or his mother; 12 ^anor shall he go out of the sanctuary nor profane the sanctuary of his God, for ^bthe dedication of the anointing oil of his God is on him; I am Yahweh. 13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 14 ^aA widow or a divorced woman or one who is profaned by harlotry, these he may not take; but rather he shall take a virgin of his own people as a wife, 15 so that he will not profane his seed among his people; for I am Yahweh who makes him holy.’”
