Contextual Overview
10 And the high priest of his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil is poured, and whose hand is consecrated to put on the garments, his head shall not be uncovered, nor his garments torn; 11 nor shall he come near any dead person; he shall not defile himself for his father or for his mother; 12 nor shall he go out from the sanctuary; nor shall he pollute the sanctuary of his God. For the crown of the anointing oil of his God is on him; I am Jehovah. 13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 14 He shall not take a widow, or one put away, or a polluted one, a harlot, but he shall take a virgin of his own people for a wife; 15 and he shall not pollute his seed among his people; for I am Jehovah who sanctifies him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Neither shall he profane his seed among his people,.... By marrying any such persons, whereby his children, born of them, would lie under disgrace, and be unfit to succeed him in the priesthood, or by marrying among mean persons, or by marrying them to such as were unlawful, and would be a disparagement to them:
for I the Lord do sanctify him; separate him from all others, to the high and sacred office of the high priesthood, and am concerned for his honour and holiness; and therefore it became him to observe these laws and rules, and abstain from such disagreeable marriages.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Profane his seed - i. e. by a marriage which was not in keeping with the holiness of his office.
