1 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them: 'No one shall defile himself for a dead person among his people,
2 except for his relatives who are nearest to him, his mother and his father and his son and his daughter and his brother,
3 also for his virgin sister, who is near to him because she has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
4 He shall not defile himself as a relative by marriage among his people, and so profane himself.
5 They shall not make any baldness on their heads, nor shave off the edges of their beards, nor make any cuts in their flesh.
6 They shall be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God, for they present the offerings by fire to the Lord, the food of their God; so they shall be holy.
