Leviticus 21:5

⁵They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

Leviticus 21 outlines specific purity laws for priests, distinguishing them from ordinary Israelites and emphasizing their unique role in mediating between God and his people. The chapter details restrictions on whom priests could marry, their conduct during mourning, and physical blemishes that would disqualify them from serving in the Tabernacle. These regulations underscore the holiness required of those who minister directly to a holy God, setting a high standard for their personal and professional lives.
