Leviticus 21:10-12

The Voice

¹⁰ Of the brotherhood of priests, the high priest is the one whose head has been anointed with oil and who has been ordained to wear the sacred garments. He is not to leave his hair uncombed or tear his garments when he is mourning. ¹¹ He is not to go near any dead bodies—not even his father’s or mother’s—or else he will make himself impure. ¹² The high priest is not allowed to go outside the sanctuary during the time of mourning and thereby desecrate God’s sanctuary, for he has been anointed with the sacred oil of his God. I am the Eternal One.
