1. The Lord also said to Moses: Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and you shall say to them: Do not allow a priest to be contaminated by the death of his citizens,
2. except only by his blood-relatives and near-relatives, that is, by a father or mother, or by a son or daughter, or also a brother,
3. or a virgin sister, who is not married to a husband.
4. But not even by the leader of his people shall he be contaminated.
5. Neither shall they shave their head or their beard, and they shall not make incisions in their flesh.
6. They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not pollute his name. For they offer the incense of the Lord and the bread of their God, and because of this they shall be holy.
7. They shall not take as a wife a promiscuous woman, or a prostitute, or her who has been repudiated by her husband. For they are consecrated to their God,
8. and they offer the bread of the presence. Therefore, let them be holy, for I also am holy: the Lord, who sanctifies them.
9. If the daughter of a priest will have been taken into prostitution, and will have violated the name of her father, she shall be consumed by fire.
