Leviticus 21:5-24

[5] They shall not make  baldness  upon their head,  neither shall they shave off  the corner  of their beard,  nor make  any cuttings  in their flesh.  [6] They shall be holy  unto their God,  and not profane  the name  of their God:  of the LORD  made by fire,  and the bread  of their God,  they do offer:  therefore they shall be holy.  [7] They shall not take  a wife  that is a whore,  or profane;  neither shall they take  a woman  put away  from her husband:  for he is holy  unto his God.  [8] Thou shalt sanctify  him therefore; for he offereth  the bread  of thy God:  he shall be holy  unto thee: for I the LORD,  which sanctify  you, am holy.  [9] And the daughter  of any  priest,  if she profane  herself by playing the whore,  she profaneth  her father:  she shall be burnt  with fire.  [10] And he that is the high  priest  among his brethren,  upon whose head  the anointing  oil  was poured,  and that is consecrated  to put  on the garments,  shall not uncover  his head,  nor rend  his clothes;  [11] Neither shall he go in  to any dead  body,  nor defile  himself for his father,  or for his mother;  [12] Neither shall he go out  of the sanctuary,  nor profane  the sanctuary  of his God;  for the crown  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 profane,  or an harlot,  these shall he not take:  a virgin  of his own people  to wife.  [15] Neither shall he profane  his seed  among his people:  do sanctify  him. [16] And the LORD  spake  unto Moses,  saying,  [17] Speak  unto Aaron,  saying,  Whosoever  he be of thy seed  in their generations  that hath any blemish,  let him not approach  the bread  of his God.  [18] For whatsoever man  he be that hath a blemish,  he shall not approach:  a blind  man,  or a lame,  or he that hath a flat nose,  or any thing superfluous,  [19] Or a man  that is brokenfooted,  [20] Or crookbackt,  or a dwarf,  or that hath a blemish  in his eye,  or be scurvy,  or scabbed,  or hath his stones  broken;  [21] No man  that hath a blemish  of the seed  of Aaron  the priest  shall come nigh  to offer  of the LORD  made by fire:  he hath a blemish;  he shall not come nigh  to offer  the bread  of his God.  [22] He shall eat  the bread  of his God,  both of the most  [23] Only he shall not go in  unto the vail,  nor come nigh  unto the altar,  because he hath a blemish;  that he profane  not my sanctuaries:  for I the LORD  do sanctify  them. [24] And Moses  told  it unto Aaron,  and to his sons,  of Israel.
