Leviticus 21:6-8

International Children’s Bible

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.

⁷ “‘A priest serves God in a special way. So he must not marry an unclean prostitute or a divorced woman. ⁸ Treat the priest in a special way. Think of him as holy. This is because he offers up the food of your God. I am the Lord. I make you holy. And I am holy.
