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.
