Leviticus 21:2

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

except for his nearest of kin, his mother, his father, his son, his daughter, his brother,

See the chapter Copy

“None of you shall approach any one near of kin to him to uncover nakedness. I am the Lord.

he shall not go in to any dead body, nor defile himself, even for his father or for his mother;

or his virgin sister (who is near to him because she has had no husband; for her he may defile himself).

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