Leviticus 21:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 “‘They shall not marry[a] a woman who is a prostitute and defiled, nor shall they marry[b] a woman divorced from her husband, because each priest[c] is holy for his God. 8 And you shall consecrate him, because he is bringing near your God’s food; he shall be holy to you, since I, Yahweh, who consecrates you, am holy.
9 “‘As for[d] the daughter of any priest, if she is defiled by prostituting, she is disgracing her father—she shall be burned in the fire.
