If a priest’s daughter defiles herself by becoming a prostitute, she profanes her father; she is to be burned in the fire.

Leviticus 21:9 · ZARZA Bible

In context

7They must not marry a woman defiled by prostitution, nor one divorced from her husband, because the priest is holy to his God. 8You are to regard him as holy, because he presents the food of your God; he is to be holy to you, because I, Yahweh, who makes you holy, am holy. 9If a priest’s daughter defiles herself by becoming a prostitute, she profanes her father; she is to be burned in the fire. 10The high priest, the one among his brothers on whose head the anointing oil has been poured and who has been ordained to wear the priestly garments, must not let his hair hang loose or tear his clothes. 11He must not go near any dead body; he must not make himself unclean, even for his father or his mother.
