22. A priest must not marry a divorced woman; he can marry only a virgin from Israel or the widow of another priest.
23. Priests must teach my people the difference between what is sacred and what is ordinary, and between what is clean and what is unclean.
24. They will make decisions in difficult legal cases, according to my own laws. They must also observe the religious festivals my Law requires and must always respect the Sabbath.
25. Touching a dead body will make a person unclean. So a priest must not go near a dead body, unless it is one of his parents or children, or his brother or unmarried sister.
26. If a priest touches a dead body, he is unclean and must go through a ceremony to make himself clean. Then seven days later,
27. he must go to the inner courtyard of the temple and offer a sacrifice for sin. After that, he may once again serve as my priest. I, the Lord God, have spoken.
28. I myself will provide for my priests, and so they won't receive any land of their own.
