Leviticus 21:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
21 2 For whom the Priests may lament. 6 How pure the Priests ought to be, both in themselves, and in their family.
1 And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto the Priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, Let none be [a]defiled by the dead among his people,
2 But by his kinsman that is near unto him: to wit, by his mother, or by his father, or by his son, or by his daughter, or by his brother,
3 Or by his sister a [b]maid, that is near unto him, which had not had an husband: for her [c]he may lament.
