1. The Lord also said to Moses: Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and you shall say to them: Do not allow a priest to be contaminated by the death of his citizens,
2. except only by his blood-relatives and near-relatives, that is, by a father or mother, or by a son or daughter, or also a brother,
3. or a virgin sister, who is not married to a husband.
4. But not even by the leader of his people shall he be contaminated.
5. Neither shall they shave their head or their beard, and they shall not make incisions in their flesh.
