Leviticus - Chapter 21

In this chapter we read the rules for the priests.  The priests must not make themselves unclean and must themselves be without any defect.

In the letter to the Hebrews, chapter 7, we read a description of Jesus as our high priest, fulfilling all the conditions in Leviticus 21:

"There were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself."
