- And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
- But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.
- And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
- But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
- They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

- The LORD said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them: 'A priest must not make himself ceremonially unclean for any of his people who die,
- except for a close relative, such as his mother or father, his son or daughter, his brother,
- or an unmarried sister who is dependent on him since she has no husband--for her he may make himself unclean.
- He must not make himself unclean for people related to him by marriage, and so defile himself.
- " 'Priests must not shave their heads or shave off the edges of their beards or cut their bodies.
