Ezekiel 44:24-26

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁴ And in a controversy they shall act as judges, and they shall judge according to My judgments; and they shall keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed feasts, and they shall keep My Sabbaths holy.

²⁵ And they shall go near to no dead person to defile themselves, except for father or for mother, for son or for daughter, for brother or for sister who has had no husband; for them they may defile themselves.^(A)

²⁶ And after he is cleansed [from the defilement of a dead body] they shall reckon to him seven days more before returning to the temple.
