In context
9 If the daughter of a priest be taken in whoredom and dishonour the name of her father, she shall be burnt with fire.
10 The high priest, that is to say, the priest who is the greatest among his brethren, upon whose head the oil of unction hath been poured; and whose hands have been consecrated for the priesthood; and who hath been vested with the holy vestments. He shall not uncover his head: he shall not rend his garments.
11 Nor shall he go in at all to any dead person: not even for his father, or his mother, shall he be defiled.
12 Neither shall he go out of the holy places, lest he defile the sanctuary of the Lord: because the oil of the holy unction of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.
13 He shall take a virgin unto his wife.
14 But a widow or one that is divorced, or defied, or a harlot, he shall not take: but a maid of his own people.
15 He shall not mingle the stock of his kindred with the common people of this nation: for I am the Lord who sanctify him.
