12. 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.

13. And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

15. Neither shall he defile his descendants among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.

16. And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
