Leviticus 21:9-13
English Standard Version
9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by whoring, profanes her father; (A)she shall be burned with fire.
10 (B)“The priest who is chief among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil is poured and who has been consecrated to wear the garments, (C)shall not let the hair of his head hang loose nor tear his clothes. 11 He shall not (D)go in to any dead bodies nor make himself unclean, even for his father or for his mother. 12 (E)He shall not go out of the sanctuary, lest he (F)profane the sanctuary of his God, for the (G)consecration of the anointing oil of his God is on him: I am the Lord. 13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.[a]
