unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them,
There shall none be
defiled for the dead among his people:
But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his
mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his
daughter, and for his brother, And for his sister a
virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no
husband; for her may he be defiled. But he shall not
defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to
profane himself."
