Ezekiel 44:24-26

Amplified Bible

²⁴ In a controversy they shall take their stand to act as judges; they shall judge it in accordance with My ordinances. They shall also keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed feasts and sanctify My Sabbaths. ²⁵ They shall not go to a dead person to ^[a]defile themselves; except for father or for mother, for son or for daughter, for brother or for sister who has had no husband; they may defile themselves.^{(A) 26} After he is cleansed [from the defilement of a corpse], seven days more shall elapse for him [before returning to the temple].
