In context
1 And Yahweh said unto Moses, Say unto the priests, the sons of Aaron,—yea thou shalt say unto them, For a dead person, shall no one make himself unclean among his people:
2 Saving for his kin, that are near unto him, for his mother or for his father, or for his son or for his daughter, or for his brother;
3 or for his sister, a virgin who is near unto him, who belongeth not unto a husband,—for her, he may make himself unclean:
4 He shall not make himself unclean being a chief among his people,—by profaning himself:
5 They shall not make a baldness behind in their head, And the border of their beard, shall they not cut off,—And, in their flesh, shall they not make incisions.
6 Holy persons, shall they be unto their God, and not profane the name of their God,—for, the altar-flames of Yahweh, the food of their God, do they bring near—Therefore shall they be holy.
