1. The Lord said to Moses: Speak to the priests, Aaron’s sons, and tell them: None of you shall make himself unclean for any dead person among his kindred,
2. except for his nearest relatives, his mother or father, his son or daughter, his brother
3. or his unmarried sister, who is of his own family while she remains single; for these he may make himself unclean.
4. But as a husband among his kindred he shall not make himself unclean and thus profane himself.
5. The priests shall not make bald the crown of their head, nor shave the edges of their beard, nor lacerate their body.
