Ezekiel 44:24-26

Living Bible

²⁴ “They will serve as judges to resolve any disagreements among my people. Their decisions must be based upon my laws. And the priests themselves shall obey my rules and regulations at all the sacred festivals, and they shall see to it that the Sabbath is kept a sacred day.

²⁵ “A priest must not defile himself by being in the presence of a dead person, unless it is his father, mother, child, brother, or unmarried sister. In such cases it is all right. ²⁶ But afterward he must wait seven days before he is cleansed and able to perform his Temple duties again.
