Leviticus 21:7-9
New King James Version
7 (A)They shall not take a wife who is a harlot or a defiled woman, nor shall they take a woman (B)divorced from her husband; for [a]the priest is holy to his God. 8 Therefore you shall [b]consecrate him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for (C)I the Lord, who (D)sanctify you, am holy. 9 The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the harlot, she profanes her father. She shall be (E)burned with fire.
