Not even for a near blood relation of them‘;——for their mother, or for their father, or fortheir son, or for their daughter, or for their brother, or for their sister, or their dearest loved daughter who has not been to a man to wed he1·;~———he shall not debase, or degrade himself with grief. ‘ They shall not shave strips upon

their heads, nor shave off their whiskers, nor cut gashes on their bodies.
