Leviticus 21:1-24 TLB

[1] The Lord said to Moses: "Tell the priests never to defile themselves by touching a dead person, [2] unless it is a near relative-a mother, father, son, daughter, brother, or unmarried sister for whom he has special responsibility since she has no husband. [4] For the priest is a leader among his people, and he may not ceremonially defile himself as an ordinary person can. [5] "The priests shall not clip bald spots in their hair or beards, nor cut their flesh. [6] They shall be holy unto their God and shall not dishonor and profane his name; otherwise they will be unfit to make food offerings by fire to the Lord their God. [7] A priest shall not marry a prostitute, nor a woman of another tribe, and he shall not marry a divorced woman, for he is a holy man of God. [8] The priest is set apart to offer the sacrifices of your God; he is holy, for I, the Lord who sanctifies you, am holy. [9] The daughter of any priest who becomes a prostitute, thus violating her father's holiness as well as her own, shall be burned alive. [10] "The High Priest-anointed with the special anointing oil and wearing the special garments-must not let his hair hang loose in mourning, nor tear his clothing, [11] nor be in the presence of any dead person-not even his father or mother. [12] He shall not leave the sanctuary when on duty, nor treat my Tabernacle like an ordinary house, for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him; I am Jehovah. [13] He must marry a virgin. [14] He may not marry a widow, nor a woman who is divorced, nor a prostitute. She must be a virgin from his own tribe, for he must not be the father of children of mixed blood-half priestly and half ordinary." [16] And the Lord said to Moses, "Tell Aaron that any of his descendants from generation to generation who have any bodily defect may not offer the sacrifices to God. [18] For instance, if a man is blind or lame, or has a broken nose or any extra fingers or toes, [19] or has a broken foot or hand, [20] or has a humped back, or is a dwarf, or has a defect in his eye, or has pimples or scabby skin, or has imperfect testicles- [21] although he is a descendant of Aaron-he is not permitted to offer the fire sacrifices to the Lord because of his physical defect. [22] However, he shall be fed with the food of the priests from the offerings sacrificed to God, both from the holy and most holy offerings. [23] But he shall not go in behind the veil, nor come near the altar, because of the physical defect; this would defile my sanctuary, for it is Jehovah who sanctifies it." [24] So Moses gave these instructions to Aaron and his sons and to all the people of Israel.
