^25 (A)They shall not defile themselves by going near to a dead person. However, for father or mother, for son or daughter, for brother or unmarried sister they may defile themselves.

^10 (A)“The priest who is chief among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil is poured and who has been consecrated to wear the garments, ^(B)shall not let the hair of his head hang loose nor tear his clothes. ¹¹ He shall not ^(C)go in to any dead bodies nor make himself unclean, even for his father or for his mother. ^12 (D)He shall not go out of the sanctuary, lest he ^(E)profane the sanctuary of his God, for the ^(F)consecration of the anointing oil of his God is on him: I am the Lord.
