Contextual Overview

10 He that is the hie priest among his brethren, vpon whose head the annoynting oyle was powred, and that consecrated his hand to put on ye vestments, shal not vncouer his head, nor rent his clothes: 11 Neither go to any dead body, nor make hymselfe vncleane by his father or his mother. 12 Neither shall go out of the sanctuarie, nor pollute the holy place of his God, for the crowne of the annoynting oyle of his God, is vpon him: I am the Lord. 13 He shall take a mayde vnto his wife. 14 But a wydowe, a deuorsed woman, or a polluted, or a harlot, these shall he not marrie: but shall take a mayde of his owne people to wyfe. 15 Neither shal he defile his seede among his people: for I am the Lorde whiche sanctifie hym.

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.
