1 The Lord said to Moses: “Speak to Aaron’s sons, the priests, and tell them: A priest is not to make himself ceremonially unclean for a dead person among his relatives,
2 except for his immediate family: his mother, father, son, daughter, or brother.
3 He may make himself unclean for his young unmarried sister in his immediate family.
4 He is not to make himself unclean for those related to him by marriage and so defile himself.
5 “Priests may not make bald spots on their heads, shave the edge of their beards, or make gashes on their bodies.
