In context
2but they may mourn for a relative who is very near to them, for a father and mother, and sons and daughters, for a brother,
3and for a virgin sister that is near to one, that is not espoused to a man; for these one shall defile himself.
— Leviticus 21:4 —
5And ye shall not shave your head for the dead with a baldness on the top; and they shall not shave their beard, neither shall they make gashes on their flesh.
6They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God; for they offer the sacrifices of the Lord as the gifts of their God, and they shall be holy.
