They offer the food offerings of the LORD, the bread of their God, and so they must be holy. 7 They must not marry a woman who is a prostitute or has been profaned, nor may they marry a divorced woman, because priests are holy to their God. 8 You shall sanctify him, for he brings the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you because I, the LORD who sanctifies you, am holy. 9 If a priest's daughter defiles herself by becoming a prostitute, she profanes her father and must be burned with fire. 10 The high priest, who has the oil of anointing poured on his head and who has been consecrated to wear the sacred garments, must not let his hair become unkempt or tear his clothes. 11 He must not go near any dead body or make himself unclean, even for his father or his mother. 12 He must not leave the sanctuary or defile the sanctuary of his God, for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is on him. I am the LORD. 13 He must marry a woman who is a virgin. 14 He must not marry a widow, a divorced woman, a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute. He may only marry a virgin from among his own people. 15 He must not defile his descendants among his people, because I am the LORD who sanctifies him. 16 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 17 Speak to Aaron and say: None of your descendants through their generations who has a defect may come near to offer the food of his God. 18 For no man who has a defect may approach: no man who is blind, lame, disfigured, or deformed. 19 No man with a broken foot or a broken hand, 20 or who is hunchbacked, a dwarf, has an eye defect, severe skin diseases, or damaged testicles. 21 No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a defect may approach to bring the offerings made by fire to the LORD. He has a defect; he must not approach to offer the food of his God. 22 He may eat the food of his God, both the most holy and the holy, 23 but he must not enter behind the curtain or come near the altar because he has a defect. He must not profane My sanctuary, for I am the LORD who makes them holy. 24 So Moses spoke this to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites.
