He shall not defile himself, [who is] a chief man among his people, to profane himself. They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

They shall not take a woman who is a harlot, or profane, neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband, for he is holy to his God. Thou shall sanctify him therefore, for he offers the bread of thy God. He shall be holy to thee, for I LORD, who sanctify you, am holy.

And he shall not profane his seed among his people, for I am LORD who sanctifies him.
