Numbers 19:11–22

^11kHe that toucheth the dead body of any ^†man shall be unclean seven days. ¹²He ^lshall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean. 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. ²⁰But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, ^xthat soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the Lord: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean. ²¹And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even. ²²And ^ywhatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
