Leviticus 21

Leviticus 21:1

There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people.

None of the inferior priests may either touch a dead corpse, or come into the room where it is, if it be the corpse of one not near allied to him.

Leviticus 21:11

Neither shall he go in to the dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother.

However it may be lawful for the inferior priest, to mourn for or to be present with the corpse of those, which, in nearness of blood or alliance, they have relation unto; yet the High Priest shall not condescend to any act or sign of public mourning, no not for his very parents; nor go into the room where their corpses are laid.

Leviticus 21:15

Neither shall he profane his seed amongst his people.

If he shall marry with any of these forbidden persons, the issue which he shall have by her, shall be accounted as unhallowed, and shall not be capable of succeeding him in executing the priest’s office.

Leviticus 21:18

Or any thing superfluous.

Or that hath any part or limb more than he should, or monstrously excessive in the proportion thereof.
