Leviticus 21:1-5

1And the Lord said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, No one shall make himself unclean for the dead among his people,

2except for his closest relatives, his mother, his father, his son, his daughter, his brother,

3or his virgin sister (who is near to him because she has had no husband; for her he may make himself unclean).

4He shall not make himself unclean as a husband among his people and so profane himself.

5They shall not make bald patches on their heads, nor shave off the edges of their beards, nor make any cuts on their body.
