3. or his unmarried sister, who is of his own family while she remains single; for these he may make himself unclean.
4. But as a husband among his kindred he shall not make himself unclean and thus profane himself.
5. The priests shall not make bald the crown of their head, nor shave the edges of their beard, nor lacerate their body.
6. They shall be holy to their God, and shall not profane their God’s name, since they offer the oblations of the Lord, the food of their God; so they must be holy.
7. A priest shall not marry a woman debased by prostitution, nor a woman who has been divorced by her husband; for the priest is holy to his God.
8. Honor him as holy for he offers the food of your God; he shall be holy to you, because I, the Lord, am holy who make you holy.
9. If a priest’s daughter debases herself by prostitution, she thereby debases her father; she shall be burned with fire.
10. The most exalted of the priests, upon whose head the anointing oil has been poured and who has been ordained to wear the special vestments, shall not dishevel his hair or rend his garments,
11. nor shall he go near any dead person. Not even for his father or mother may he thus become unclean;
12. nor shall he leave the sanctuary and profane the sanctuary of his God, for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.
13. He shall marry only a woman who is a virgin.
