Commentary on Leviticus 21:15

Theological / Devotional

Profane his seed. The children of any such union as mentioned in v. 14 would be disqualified to succeed their father in office, as he himself would be disqualified by violating the law prohibiting such unions. These rules were given to preserve the priesthood as a holy order. The priests must be clean in all respects, that they might deserve the respect of the people.
