3. and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.

4. He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.

5. “‘They shall not shave their heads or shave off the corners of their beards or make any cuttings in their flesh.

6. They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.

7. “‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane. They shall not marry a woman divorced from her husband; for he is holy to his God.

8. You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you; for I Yahweh, who sanctify you, am holy.

9. “‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father. She shall be burned with fire.
