Leviticus 21:2

Modern English Version

but for his closest relatives, that is, for his mother, his father, his son, his daughter, his brother,

See the chapter Copy

None of you shall approach any of his near relatives to have relations: I am the Lord.

nor shall he approach any dead body, nor make himself unclean, even for his father or his mother;

and his virgin sister (who is near him because she has not had a husband), for her he may be made unclean.

But I would not have you ignorant, brothers, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others who have no hope.
