1. And Hashem said unto Moshe, Speak unto the kohanim the Bnei Aharon, and say unto them, There shall none be made tamei for the dead among his people;
2. But for his close kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his em, and for his av, and for his ben, and for his bat, and for his ach.
3. And for his betulah achot (virgin sister), that is close unto him, which hath had no ish (husband); for her may he be made tamei.
4. But he shall not make himself tamei, being a ba'al (leader, chief man) among his people, to profane himself.
5. They shall not shave their head bald, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their basar.
