und soll zu keinem Toten kommen und soll sich weder über Vater noch über Mutter verunreinigen.
Ni entrará donde haya alguna persona muerta, ni por su padre, o por su madre se contaminará.
No entrará donde haya un muerto ni se hará impuro por su padre o por su madre.
Il n'ira vers aucun mort, il ne se rendra point impur, ni pour son père, ni pour sa mère.
E non entri in luogo dove sia alcun corpo morto; non contaminisi, non pur per suo padre, nè per sua madre.
E não se chegará a cadáver algum, nem por causa de seu pai nem por sua mãe se contaminará;
不可挨近任何死屍,即使為了父母也不可玷污自己。
