Leviticus 21:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 ¶ Also the high Priest among his brethren, (upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and hath consecrated his hand to put on the garments) shall not [a]uncover his head nor rent his clothes.
11 Neither shall he go to any [b]dead body, nor make himself unclean by his father or by his mother,
12 Neither shall he go out of the [c]Sanctuary, nor pollute the holy place of his God: for the [d]crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.
