← Leviticus 21:7	Leviticus 21:8 (KJV)	Leviticus 21:9 →
They shall not take a wife [that is] a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he [is] holy unto his God.	Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which sanctify you, [am] holy.	And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
