In context
2 But only for his kin, such as are near in blood: that is to say, for his father and for his mother, and for his son, and for his daughter, for his brother also:
3 And for a maiden sister, who hath had no husband.
4 But not even for the prince of his people shall he do any thing that may make him unclean.
5 Neither shall they shave their head, nor their beard, nor make incisions in their flesh.
6 They shall be holy to their God, and shall not profane his name. For they offer the burnt offering of the Lord, and the bread of their God: and therefore they shall be holy.
7 They shall not take to wife a harlot or a vile prostitute, nor one that has been put away from her husband: because they are consecrated to their God,
8 And offer the loaves of proposition. Let them therefore be holy because I also am holy: the Lord, who sanctify them.
