Leviticus 21:1-8

[1] And the LORD  said  unto Moses,  Speak  unto the priests  the sons  of Aaron,  and say  unto them, There shall none be defiled  for the dead  among his people:  [2] But for his kin,  that is near  unto him, that is, 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 nigh  unto him, which hath had no husband;  for her may he be defiled.  [4] But he shall not defile  himself, being a chief man  among his people,  to profane  [5] They shall not make  baldness  upon their head,  neither shall they shave off  the corner  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:  of the LORD  made by fire,  and the bread  of their God,  they do offer:  therefore they shall be holy.  [7] They shall not take  a wife  that is a whore,  or profane;  neither shall they take  a woman  put away  from her husband:  for he is holy  unto his God.  [8] Thou shalt sanctify  him therefore; for he offereth  the bread  of thy God:  he shall be holy  unto thee: for I the LORD,  which sanctify  you, am holy.
