Numbers 19:11-22

11‘1The one who touches the dead body of any 2person will also be unclean for seven days. 12That one shall 3purify himself with 4the 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. 135Anyone who touches a dead body, the 6body of a person who has died, and does not purify himself, 7defiles the 8tabernacle of the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from Israel. Since the water for impurity was not 9sprinkled on him, he will be unclean; his uncleanness is still on him.

14‘This is the law when a person dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent and everyone who is in the tent will be unclean for seven days. 15And every open container, which has no cover tied down on it, will be unclean. 1610Also, anyone who in the open field touches one who has been killed with a sword or one who has died naturally, or touches a human bone or a grave, will be unclean for seven days. 17Then for the unclean person they shall take some of the 11ashes of the 12burnt 1314purification from sin and 15running water shall be 16added to them in a container. 18And a clean person shall take hyssop and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, on all the furnishings, on the persons who were there, and on the one who touched the bone or the one who was killed or the one who died naturally, or the grave. 19Then the clean person 17shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and on the seventh day he shall purify him, and he shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and will be clean by evening.

20‘But the person who is unclean and does not purify himself, that person shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he has 18defiled the sanctuary of the Lord; the water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him, so he is unclean. 21So it shall be a permanent statute for them. And the one 19who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and the one who touches the water for impurity will be unclean until evening. 2220Furthermore, anything that the unclean person touches will be unclean; and the person who touches it will be unclean until evening.’”
