LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then* Yahweh said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, Aaron's sons, and say to them, 'One must not make himself unclean for a dead person among his own people, ² except for his direct relative closest to him: his mother and his father, and his son and his daughter, and his brother, ³ and for his sister, a virgin, who is closest to him, _⌊who has not had a husband_⌋*—for her he may defile himself. ⁴ He must not make himself unclean as _⌊a kinsman by marriage_⌋,* defiling himself. ⁵ " 'And they shall not shave bald patches on their head, and they shall not shave off the corner of their beard, and they shall not make a cut in their body. ⁶ They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God, because they are bringing near the offerings made by fire to* Yahweh—their God's food—and they shall be holy. ⁷ " 'They shall not _⌊marry_⌋* a woman who is a prostitute and defiled, nor shall they _⌊marry_⌋* a woman divorced from her husband, because each priest* is holy for his God.
