1 Y JEHOVÁ dijo á Moisés: Habla á los sacerdotes hijos de Aarón, y diles que no se contaminen por un muerto en sus pueblos.
2 Mas por su pariente cercano á sí, por su madre, ó por su padre, ó por su hijo, ó por su hermano,
3 O por su hermana virgen, á él cercana, la cual no haya tenido marido, por ella se contaminará.
4 No se contaminará, [porque es] príncipe en sus pueblos, haciéndose inmundo.
5 No harán calva en su cabeza, ni raerán la punta de su barba, ni en su carne harán rasguños.
