Leviticus 21:2-4
New International Reader's Version
2 But he can go near the body of a close relative. It could be his mother, father, son, daughter or brother. 3 He can also go near a sister who is not married. She would have depended on him because she did not have a husband. The priest can make himself “unclean” by going near her body. 4 But he must not make himself “unclean” by going near the bodies of people only related to him by marriage. Going near them would make him “unclean.”
