11 (A)The one who touches the dead body of any [a]person will also be unclean for seven days. 12 That one shall (B)purify himself with [b]the water on the third day and on the seventh day, and then he will be clean; but if he does not purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean. 13 (C)Anyone who touches a dead body, the [c]body of a person who has died, and does not purify himself, (D)defiles the [d]tabernacle of the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from Israel. Since the water for impurity was not (E)sprinkled on him, he will be unclean; his uncleanness is still on him.
