Numbers 19:11-16

« Num 18Num 19Num 20 »

11 ‘^aThe one who touches the corpse of any ¹person shall be unclean for seven days. 12 That one shall ^apurify himself from uncleanness with ¹the water on the third day and on the seventh day, and then he will be clean; but if he does not purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean. 13 ^aAnyone who touches a corpse, the ¹body of a man who has died, and does not purify himself, ²^bmakes the ³tabernacle of Yahweh unclean; and that person shall be cut off from Israel. Because the water for impurity was not ⁴^csplashed on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is still on him.
14 ‘This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent and everyone who is in the tent shall be unclean for seven days. 15 And every open vessel, which has no covering ¹tied down on it, shall be unclean. 16 ^aAlso, anyone who in the open field touches one who has been slain with a sword or who has died naturally, or a human bone or a grave, shall be unclean for seven days.
