Numbers 19:13-19

13AnyoneH3605 who touchesH5060 a humanH120 corpseH4191H5315 and failsH3808 to purifyH2398 himselfH853 defilesH2930 the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068. ThatH1931 personH5315 must be cut offH3772 from IsraelH3478. He remainsH1961 uncleanH2931, becauseH3588 the waterH4325 of purificationH5079 has notH3808 been sprinkledH2236 on himH5921, and his uncleannessH2932 is still on himH5750.

14ThisH2063 is the lawH8451 whenH3588 a personH120 diesH4191 in a tentH168: EveryoneH3605 who entersH935H413 the tentH168 and everyoneH3605 already in the tentH168 will be uncleanH2930 for sevenH7651 daysH3117, 15and anyH3605 openH6605 containerH3627 withoutH369 a lidH6781 fastenedH6616 on itH5921 is uncleanH2931H1931.

16AnyoneH3605 inH5921 the open fieldH6440H7704 whoH834 touchesH5060 someone who has been killedH2491 by the swordH2719 orH176 has died of natural causesH4191, orH176 anyone who touches a humanH120 boneH6106 orH176 a graveH6913, will be uncleanH2930 for sevenH7651 daysH3117.

17For the purification of the unclean personH2931, takeH3947 some of the ashesH6083 of the burntH8316 sin offeringH2403, put themH5414 inH413 a jarH3627, and pour freshH2416 waterH43251 over themH5921. 18Then a manH376 who is ceremonially cleanH2889 is to takeH3947 some hyssopH231, dipH2881 it in the waterH4325, and sprinkleH5137H5921 the tentH168H5921, allH3605 the furnishingsH3627H5921, and the peopleH5315 whoH834 wereH1961 thereH8033H5921. He is also to sprinkle the one who touchedH5060 a boneH6106, a graveH6913, or a person who has diedH4191H176 orH176 been slainH2491H176.

19The man who is ceremonially cleanH2889H5921 is to sprinkleH5137 the unclean personH2931 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117. After he purifiesH2398 the unclean person on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, the one being cleansed must washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 in waterH4325, and that eveningH6153 he will be cleanH2891.
