Why Weren't the Priests To Defile Themselves With Dead People? [Leviticus 21:1-9][Lesson 70][WTTB]

When someone dies, it is certainly a sad time. When it is someone we love or are close to, we think nothing of attending the funeral to comfort the family and to grieve ourselves. But if you were a priest of God under the Law of Moses, other considerations needed to be thought about. What was it about being the dead that defiled the priests, and what did command them to do? In Lesson 70 of our study of Leviticus we learn the answer to this question.
