Leviticus 21:1-7
Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them:‘ No one shall defile himself for a dead person among his people,except for his relatives who are nearest to him, his mother, his father, his son, his daughter, and his brother,also for his virgin sister who is near to him because she has not had a husband; for her, he may defile himself.He shall not defile himself as a relative by marriage among his people, so as to profane himself.They shall not shave any area on their heads bald, nor shave off the edges of their beards, nor make any cuts in their flesh.They shall be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God, because they present the offerings by fire to the Lord, the food of their God; so they shall be holy.They shall not take a woman who is a prostitute and profaned, nor shall they take a woman divorced from her husband; for he is holy to his God.

Malachi 2:10-12
Do we not all have one Father? Is it not one God who has created us? Why do we deal treacherously, each against his brother so as to profane the covenant of our fathers?Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the sanctuary of the Lord which He loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.As for the man who does this, may the Lord eliminate from the tents of Jacob everyone who is awake and answers, or who presents an offering to the Lord of armies.

Psalms 59:5-13
You, Lord God of armies, the God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations; Do not be gracious to any who deal treacherously in wrongdoing. SelahThey return at evening, they howl like a dog, And prowl around the city.Behold, they gush forth with their mouths; Swords are in their lips, For, they say,“ Who hears?”But You, Lord, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.Because of his strength I will watch for You, For God is my refuge.My God in His faithfulness will meet me; God will let me look triumphantly upon my enemies.Do not kill them, or my people will forget; Scatter them by Your power and bring them down, Lord, our shield.On account of the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips, May they even be caught in their pride, And on account of curses and lies which they tell.Destroy them in wrath, destroy them so that they will no longer exist; So that people may know that God rules in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah

Malachi 2:4-8
Then you will know that I have sent this commandment to you, so that My covenant may continue with Levi,” says the Lord of armies.“ My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him as an object of reverence; so he revered Me and was in awe of My name.True instruction was in his mouth and injustice was not found on his lips; he walked with Me in peace and justice, and he turned many back from wrongdoing.For the lips of a priest should maintain knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of armies.But as for you, you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to stumble by the instruction; you have ruined the covenant of Levi,” says the Lord of armies.

Numbers 16:9-10
Is it too small an honor for you that the God of Israel has singled you out from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to Himself, to perform the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;and that He has brought you near, Korah, and all your brothers, sons of Levi, with you? But are you seeking the priesthood as well?
