4 Otherwise he shall not defile himself, being a1 chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 a‘They shall not make any bald place on their heads, nor shall they shave the edges of their beards nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 They shall be aholy to their God and not profane the name of their God, for they offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and the bbread of their God; ctherefore they shall be holy.
7 aThey shall not take a wife who is a harlot or a defiled woman, nor shall they take a woman bdivorced from her husband; for1 the priest is holy to his God.
8 Therefore you shall consecrate him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for aI the Lord, who bsanctify you, am holy.
9 The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the harlot, she profanes her father. She shall be aburned with fire.
