Vayikra 21:2-4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
2 But for his close kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his em, and for his av, and for his ben, and for his bat, and for his ach.
3 And for his betulah achot (virgin sister), that is close unto him, which hath had no ish (husband); for her may he be made tamei.
4 But he shall not make himself tamei, being a ba’al (leader, chief man) among his people, to profane himself.
