1 The Lord spoke to Moses, “Tell the priests, Aaron’s sons: None of you should become unclean by touching one of your relatives who has died.
2 However, you are allowed to become unclean when one of your nearest relatives dies. These relatives include your mother, father, son, daughter, or brother,
3 and especially an unmarried virgin sister who is still close to you.
4 As the head of your people, you should never become unclean. That would make you unholy.
