11 He must not make himself unclean by touching a dead body. He must not go near a dead body, even if it is his own father or mother.
12 The high priest must not leave God’s holy place, because he might become unclean and then make God’s holy place unclean. The anointing oil was poured on the high priest’s head. This separated him from the rest of the people. I am the Lord.
13 “The high priest must marry a woman who is a virgin.
14 He must not marry a woman who has had sexual relations with any man. He must not marry a prostitute, a divorced woman, or a widow. The high priest must marry a virgin from his own people.
15 In this way people will show respect for his children. I, the Lord, have separated the high priest for his special work.”
16 The Lord said to Moses,
17 “Tell Aaron: If any of your descendants have anything wrong with them, they must not carry the special bread to God.
