and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that
sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
11
He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
12
He shall purify
himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself
the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
13
Whosoever toucheth the dead body of
any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the L
ORD
; and that soul
shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall
be unclean; his uncleanness
is
yet upon him.
14
This
is
the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that
come into the tent, and all that
is
in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
15
And every open vessel,
which hath no covering bound upon it,
is
unclean.
16
And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with
a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven
days.
17
And for an unclean
person
they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification
for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:
18
And a clean person shall take hyssop,
and dip
it
in the water, and sprinkle
it
upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons
that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
19
And the
clean
person
shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the
seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be
clean at even.
20
But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be
cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the L
ORD
: the water
of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he
is
unclean.
21
And it shall be a perpetual statute
unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth
the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
22
And whatsoever the unclean
person
toucheth
shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth
it
shall be unclean until even.

the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon
their faces: and the glory of the L
ORD
appeared unto them.
