Numbers 19:11-17 World English Bible (WEB)

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

12. He shall purify himself with water on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean; but if he doesn’t purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

13. Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and doesn’t purify himself, defiles Yahweh’s tabernacle; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean. His uncleanness is yet on him.

14. “This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

15. Every open vessel, which has no covering bound on it, is unclean.

16. “Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

17. “For the unclean, they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin offering; and running water shall be poured into a vessel.
