10And the high priest, who is greater than his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil has been poured and whose hand has been filled to wear the garments, shall not let his head hang loose, nor shall he tear his garments.

11He shall not go near any dead body; he shall not make himself unclean even for his father or for his mother.

12And he shall not go out from the sanctuary, nor shall he profane the sanctuary of his God, because the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am Yahweh.
