1. And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aharon, and say to them: ‘No one is to be defiled for the dead among his people,
2. except for his relatives who are nearest to him: for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother;
3. and for his maiden sister who is near to him, who has had no husband – for her he is defiled.
4. ‘A leader does not defile himself among his people, to profane himself;
5. they do not make any bald place on their heads, and they do not shave the corner of their beard, and they do not make a cutting in their flesh.
6. ‘They are set-apart to their Elohim and do not profane the Name of their Elohim, for they bring the offerings of יהוה made by fire, and the bread of their Elohim, and shall be set-apart.
7. ‘They do not take a woman who is a whore or a defiled woman, and they do not take a woman put away from her husband, for he is set-apart to his Elohim.
8. ‘And you shall set him apart, for he brings the bread of your Elohim, he is set-apart to you. For I, יהוה, setting you apart, am set-apart.
9. ‘And when the daughter of any priest profanes herself by whoring, she profanes her father. She is burned with fire.
10. ‘And the high priest among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil was poured and who is ordained to wear the garments, does not unbind his head nor tear his garments,
11. nor come near any dead body, nor defile himself for his father or his mother,
12. nor go out of the set-apart place, nor profane the set-apart place of his Elohim, for the sign of dedication of the anointing oil of his Elohim is upon him. I am יהוה.
13. ‘And let him take a wife in her maidenhood.
