Regulations Concerning Priests
10 "The high priest among his relatives whose head has been anointed with oil and who has been consecrated to put on the priestly clothing is not to let his hair hang loose or to tear his clothes. 11 He is not to come near any dead body whether the deceased is his father or his mother so as not to defile himself. 12 He is not to go out of the sanctuary or defile the sanctuary of his God, because his God's consecrating oil of anointing rests on him. I am the LORD.
