21:2Except for his relative who is near to him, for his mother and for his father and for his son and for his daughter and for his brother Compare
21:3And for his virgin sister, who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself. Compare
21:4He shall not defile himself, as a leader among his people, so as to profane himself. Compare
21:5They shall not make any baldness on their head or shave off the edges of their beard or make any cuttings in their flesh. Compare

21:7They shall not take a woman who is a harlot or profaned, nor shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for the priest is holy to his God. Compare
21:8You shall sanctify him therefore, for he presents the food of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I Jehovah, who sanctifies you, am holy. Compare
21:9And the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself through prostitution, she profanes her father; she shall be burnt with fire. Compare

21:16Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, Compare
