17 For the unclean they shall take some ashes of the burnt purification offering, and running water shall be added in a vessel;(A) 18 then a clean person shall take hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, on all the furnishings, on the persons who were there, and on whoever touched the bone, the slain, the corpse, or the grave. 19 The clean person shall sprinkle the unclean ones on the third day and on the seventh day, thus purifying them on the seventh day. Then they shall wash their clothes and bathe themselves in water, and at evening they shall be clean.(B) 20 Any who are unclean but do not purify themselves, those persons shall be cut off from the assembly, for they have defiled the sanctuary of the Lord. Since the water for cleansing has not been dashed on them, they are unclean.(C)

21 “It shall be a perpetual statute for them. The one who sprinkles the water for cleansing shall wash his clothes, and whoever touches the water for cleansing shall be unclean until evening. 22 Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean, and anyone who touches it shall be unclean until evening.”(D)

He must also sprinkle anyone who has touched a human bone or a grave(E) or anyone who has been killed or anyone who has died a natural death. 19 The man who is clean is to sprinkle(F) those who are unclean on the third and seventh days, and on the seventh day he is to purify them.(G) Those who are being cleansed must wash their clothes(H) and bathe with water, and that evening they will be clean. 20 But if those who are unclean do not purify themselves, they must be cut off from the community, because they have defiled(I) the sanctuary of the Lord.(J) The water of cleansing has not been sprinkled on them, and they are unclean.(K) 21 This is a lasting ordinance(L) for them.

“The man who sprinkles the water of cleansing must also wash his clothes, and anyone who touches the water of cleansing will be unclean till evening. 22 Anything that an unclean(M) person touches becomes unclean, and anyone who touches it becomes unclean till evening.”
