Numbers 19:13–19

¹³Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, ^mdefileth the tabernacle of the Lord; and ⁿthat soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; ⁿhis uncleanness is yet upon him. ¹⁴This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days. ¹⁵And every ^oopen vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean. ¹⁶And ^pwhosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. ¹⁷And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes ^qof the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel: ¹⁸and a clean person shall take ^rhyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave: ¹⁹and the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean ^son the third day, and on the seventh day: and ^ton the seventh day he shall purify himself, and ^uwash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
