1. The Lord gave Moses these instructions for Aaron's sons, the priests:Touching a dead body will make you unclean. So don't go near a dead relative,
2. except your mother, father, son, daughter, brother,
3. or an unmarried sister, who has no husband to take care of her.
4. Don't make yourself unclean by attending the funeral of someone related to you by marriage.
5. Don't shave any part of your head or trim your beard or cut yourself to show that you are mourning.
6. I am the Lord your God, and I have chosen you alone to offer sacrifices of food to me on the altar. That's why you must keep yourselves holy.
