10 He who is the high priest among his brethren, on whose head the anointing oil was (A)poured and who is consecrated to wear the garments, shall not (B)uncover[a] his head nor tear his clothes; 11 nor shall he go (C)near any dead body, nor defile himself for his father or his mother; 12 (D)nor shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the (E)consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord. 13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 14 A widow or a divorced woman or a defiled woman or a harlot—these he shall not marry; but he shall take a virgin of his own people as wife. 15 Nor shall he profane his posterity among his people, for I the Lord sanctify him.’ ”
