1 The Lord commanded Moses to say to the Aaronite priests, “No priest is to make himself ritually unclean by taking part in the funeral ceremonies when a relative dies,
2 unless it is his mother, father, son, daughter, brother,
3 or unmarried sister living in his house.
4 He shall not make himself unclean at the death of those related to him by marriage.
5 “No priest shall shave any part of his head or trim his beard or cut gashes on his body to show that he is in mourning.
6 He must be holy and must not disgrace my name. He offers food offerings to me, and he must be holy.
