But if for his remainder coming near to him, for his mother and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother, And for his sister, a virgin, coming near to him, who was not for a husband for her, he shall be defiled. read more.
A chief among his people shall not be defiled, to profane himself. With baldness, they shall not make baldness upon their head, and they shall not shave the extremity of their beard: and in their flesh they shall not cut incisions. They shall be holy to their God, and profane not the name of their God: for the sacrifices of Jehovah, and the bread of their God they bring: and they were holy.
