Numbers 19:11-16

Revised Geneva Translation

¹¹ ‘He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean for seven days.

¹² ‘He shall purify himself with the water on the third day; and the seventh day he shall be clean. But, if he does not purify himself on the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

¹³ ‘Whoever touches the corpse of any man who is dead, and does not purge himself, defiles the Tabernacle of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from Israel, because the sprinkling water was not sprinkled upon him. He shall be unclean; and his uncleanness shall remain upon him.

¹⁴ ‘This is the Law: When a man dies in a tent, all who come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean for seven days.

¹⁵ ‘And all the vessels that are open, which have no covering fastened upon them, shall be unclean.

¹⁶ ‘Also, whoever touches one who is killed with a sword in the field, or a dead person, or a bone of a dead man, or a grave, shall be unclean for seven days.
