19. The clean will sprinkle the unclean on the third and on the seventh day, and thus purify them on the seventh day. Then they will wash their garments and bathe in water, and in the evening be clean.
20. Those who become unclean and fail to purify themselves—those people will be cut off from the assembly, because they defile the sanctuary of the Lord. The purification water has not been splashed over them; they remain unclean.
21. This will be a permanent statute for you.Those who sprinkle the purification water will wash their garments, and those who come in contact with the purification water will be unclean until evening.
22. Moreover, anything that the unclean person touches becomes unclean itself, and the one who touches such a person becomes unclean until evening.
