3. Mosebok 21,2
1 Herren talte til Moses og sa: «Tal til prestene, Arons sønner, og si til dem: ‘En prest må ikke gjøre seg uren for noen avdød blant sitt folk,
unntatt for sine nærmeste slektninger, som sin mor, far, sønn, datter eller bror,
3 og også for sin jomfrusøster som er avhengig av ham, siden hun ikke har noen mann; for henne kan han gjøre seg uren.
4 Han må ikke gjøre seg uren for dem som er beslektet ved ekteskap, og dermed vanhellige seg selv.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
