Numbers 6:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ During the entire time that he separates himself to the Lord he may not go near a dead body. ⁷ He may not defile himself even for his father or his mother or for his brother or his sister when they die, because his sign of separation for God is on his head. ⁸ During the entire time of his separation he is set apart as holy to the Lord.
