In Leviticus 21:8, the same holiness requirement is repeated: the priest is to be sanctified because he offers the bread of God.

Leviticus 21:21 further restricts who may offer the bread of God, specifying that priests with blemishes cannot do so.

Leviticus 18:21 warns against profaning God's name by child sacrifice — the same phrase 'profane the name' used in Leviticus 21:6.
