For they present the fire offerings to Yahweh, the food of their God, and they must be holy.They are not to marry a woman defiled by prostitution. They are not to marry one divorced by her husband, for the priest is holy to his God.You are to consider him holy since he presents the food of your God. He will be holy to you because I, Yahweh who sets you apart, am holy.
