Leviticus 21:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ But a priest must not make himself unclean if the dead person was only related to him by marriage.

⁵ “‘Priests must not shave their heads. They must not shave off the edges of their beards. They must not cut their bodies. ⁶ Priests must be holy to their God. They must show respect for God’s name. This is because they present the offerings made by fire to the Lord. This is the food of their God. So they must be holy.
