Ezekiel 44:25-27

Christian Standard Bible

²⁵ A priest may not come near a dead person so that he becomes defiled.^(A) However, he may defile himself for a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a brother, or an unmarried sister. ²⁶ After he is cleansed, he is to count off seven days for himself.^{(B) 27} On the day he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court^(C) to minister in the sanctuary, he is to present his sin offering.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
