Commentary on Leviticus 21:2

Theological / Devotional

But for his kin. A dead body, whether of saint or sinner, was considered unclean, and a priest touching it was rendered unclean and hence could not officiate in the sanctuary. There were exceptions in case of those of near kin, such as father or mother, son or daughter, brother or sister.
