Levítico 21

Tan solo se les permite hacerlo en caso de que el muerto sea un pariente cercano, como su madre, su padre, su hijo, su hija, su hermano, o su hermana soltera por la que tenga especial responsabilidad, por cuanto ella no tiene marido.

Mas por su pariente cercano á sí, por su madre, ó por su padre, ó por su hijo, ó por su hermano,

But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,

except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,
