Leviticus 21:4-6

Living Bible

⁴ For the priest is a leader among his people, and he may not ceremonially defile himself as an ordinary person can.

⁵ “The priests shall not clip bald spots in their hair or beards, nor cut their flesh. ⁶ They shall be holy unto their God and shall not dishonor and profane his name; otherwise they will be unfit to make food offerings by fire to the Lord their God.
