Ezekiel 44:23-25
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
23 (A)They shall teach my people to distinguish between sacred and profane and make known to them the difference between clean and unclean. 24 (B)In legal cases they shall stand as judges, judging according to my ordinances. They shall observe all my laws and statutes regarding all my appointed feasts, and they shall keep my sabbaths holy.
25 (C)They shall not make themselves unclean by going near a dead body; only for their father, mother, son, daughter, brother, or unmarried sister may they make themselves unclean.
