Leviticus 21:1-4 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Then the Lord said to Moses: Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them: None shall make himself unclean for the dead among his people,

2. but for his closest relatives, that is, for his mother, his father, his son, his daughter, his brother,

3. and his virgin sister (who is near him because she has not had a husband), for her he may be made unclean.

4. And he shall not make himself unclean as a husband among his people because of the dead and so defile himself.
