KJV ORIGINAL
And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
They shouldn't go near dead bodies because it makes them ceremonially unclean. But there are exceptions — they can do this for their dad, mom, son, daughter, brother, or unmarried sister.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Even in God's strictest rules, family always gets the exception.
