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.
