5 - " 'Priests Must Not Shave Their Heads Or Shave Off The Edges Of Their Beards Or Cut Their Bodies.

7 - " 'They Must Not Marry Women Defiled By Prostitution Or Divorced From Their Husbands, Because Priests Are Holy To Their God.

11 - He Must Not Enter A Place Where There Is A Dead Body. He Must Not Make Himself Unclean, Even For His Father Or Mother,

21 - No Descendant Of Aaron The Priest Who Has Any Defect Is To Come Near To Present The Offerings Made To The Lord By Fire. He Has A Defect; He Must Not Come Near To Offer The Food Of His God.
23 - Yet Because Of His Defect, He Must Not Go Near The Curtain Or Approach The Altar, And So Desecrate My Sanctuary. I Am The Lord , Who Makes Them Holy. ' "
