Leviticus 21:12 in Context — Leviticus 21

10 Y el sumo sacerdote entre sus hermanos, sobre cuya cabeza fué derramado el aceite de la unción, y que hinchió su mano para vestir las vestimentas, no descubrirá su cabeza, ni romperá sus vestidos:

11 Ni entrará donde haya alguna persona muerta, ni por su padre, ó por su madre se contaminará.

12 Ni saldrá del santuario, ni contaminará el santuario de su Dios; porque la corona del aceite de la unción de su Dios está sobre él: Yo Jehová.

13 Y tomará él mujer con su virginidad.

14 Viuda, ó repudiada, ó infame, ó ramera, éstas no tomará: mas tomará virgen de sus pueblos por mujer.
