Leviticus 21:3 In-Context

1 Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, Aaron's sons, and say to them, 'One must not make himself unclean for a dead person among his [own] people,
2 except for his direct relative closest to him: his mother and his father, and his son and his daughter, and his brother,
3 and for his sister, a virgin, [who is] closest to him, {who has not had a husband}--for her he may defile himself.
4 He must not make himself unclean [as] {a kinsman by marriage}, defiling himself.
5 " 'And they shall not shave bald patches on their head, and they shall not shave off the corner of their beard, and they shall not make a cut in their body.
