Ezekiel 44:25-27

Living Bible

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. ²⁷ The first day he returns to work and enters the inner court and the sanctuary, he must offer a sin offering for himself,” the Lord God says.
