Wayyiqra (Leviticus) 21:4-9, 13-14 TS2009

[4] ‘A leader does not defile himself among his people, to profane himself;. [5] they do not make any bald place on their heads, and they do not shave the corner of their beard, and they do not make a cutting in their flesh. [6] ‘They are set-apart to their Elohim and do not profane the Name of their Elohim, for they bring the fire offerings of יהוה, and the bread of their Elohim, and shall be set-apart. [7] ‘They do not take a woman who is a whore or a defiled woman, and they do not take a woman put away from her husband, for he is set-apart to his Elohim. [8] ‘And you shall set him apart, for he brings the bread of your Elohim, he is set-apart to you. For I, יהוה, setting you apart, am set-apart. [9] ‘And when the daughter of any priest profanes herself by whoring, she profanes her father. She is burned with fire.

[13] ‘And let him take a wife in her maidenhood. [14] ‘A widow or one put away or a defiled woman or a whore – these he does not take. But a maiden of his own people he does take as a wife.
