Scripture
'He shall not make himself unclean for his father or for his mother, for his brother or for his sister, when they die, because his separation to God is on his head.
Hebrew
ז לְאָבִיו וּלְאִמּוֹ, לְאָחִיו וּלְאַחֹתוֹ--לֹא-יִטַּמָּא לָהֶם, בְּמֹתָם: כִּי נֵזֶר אֱלֹהָיו, עַל-רֹאשׁוֹ.
Greek
7 ἐπὶ πατρὶ καὶ ἐπὶ μητρὶ καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἀδελφῷ καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἀδελφῇ, οὐ μιανθήσεται ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς ἀποθανόντων αὐτῶν, ὅτι εὐχὴ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ ἐπὶ κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ·
