8. Therefore you are to sanctify him, because he offers the bread of your God. He should be holy to you, for I, Adonai, who sanctifies you, am holy.
9. “The daughter of any kohen, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, profanes her father. She is to be burned with fire.
10. “He who is the kohen gadol among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured and is consecrated to put on the garments, is not to let the hair of his head hang loose or tear his clothes,
11. nor shall he go near any dead person, defiling himself, even for his father or his mother.
12. He is not to go out of the Sanctuary or profane the Sanctuary of his God—for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am Adonai.

15. so as not to corrupt his offspring among his people. For I am Adonai who sanctifies him.”
16. Adonai spoke to Moses saying:

18. Any man who has a defect is not to draw near: no one blind or lame or disfigured or deformed,
19. or a man who has a crippled foot or crippled hand
