Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 “Priests may not make bald spots on their heads, shave the edge of their beards, or make gashes on their bodies.(A) 6 They are to be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God.(B) For they present the fire offerings to Yahweh, the food of their God, and they must be holy. 7 They are not to marry a woman defiled by prostitution.[a](C) They are not to marry one divorced(D) by her husband, for the priest is holy to his God.

Leviticus 21:5-7
King James Version
5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
6 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.
7 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.
