Leviticus 21:1-4 ▼

1 And YHWH said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them: No one shall defile himself for the dead among his people,

2 except for his close relative who are near to him—his mother, and his father, and his son, and his daughter, and his brother,

3 and his sister, the virgin, who is near to him, who has not had a husband. He may defile himself for her.

4 As a chief man he shall not defile himself among his people, to profane himself.
