Leviticus 21:8-10
EasyEnglish Bible
8 A priest is holy because he sacrifices the people's offerings to God. A priest is holy because I, the Lord, am holy.
9 A priest's daughter must not have sex with men who pay her. That would make her unclean. She would take away her father's honour. If she does not obey, you must burn her in a fire.
10 They have poured special oil on the leader of the priests' head to show that he is greater than his brothers. He must wear special clothes. He must comb his hair. He must not tear his clothes.
