Numbers 19:11-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹¹ ‘^(A)The one who touches the corpse of any ^[a]person shall be unclean for seven days. ¹² That one shall ^(B)purify himself from uncleanness 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 corpse, the ^[c]body of a man 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. Because the water for impurity was not ^[e](E)sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is still on him.
