New Testament

Numbers 19:12-16 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

12. But if you wash with the water mixed with the cow's ashes on the third day and again on the seventh day, you will be clean and acceptable for worship. You must wash yourself on those days; if you don't, you will remain unclean.

13. Suppose you touch a dead body, but refuse to be made clean by washing with the water mixed with ashes. You will be guilty of making my sacred tent unclean and will no longer belong to the people of Israel.

14. If someone dies in a tent while you are there, you will be unclean for seven days. And anyone who later enters the tent will also be unclean.

15. Any open jar in the tent is unclean.

16. If you touch the body of someone who was killed or who died of old age, or if you touch a human bone or a grave, you will be unclean for seven days.
