Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and thou shalt tell them that they shall not defile themselves in their nation for the dead, ² but they may mourn for a relative who is very near to them, for a father and mother, and sons and daughters, for a brother, ³ and for a virgin sister that is near to one, that is not espoused to a man; for these one shall defile himself. ⁴ He shall not defile himself suddenly among his people to profane himself. ⁵ And ye shall not shave your head for the dead with a baldness on the top; and they shall not shave their beard, neither shall they make gashes on their flesh. ⁶ They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for they offer the sacrifices of the Lord as the gifts of their God, and they shall be holy. ⁷ They shall not take a woman who is a harlot and profaned, or a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy to the Lord his God.
