Numbers 19:11-22
Legacy Standard Bible
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](D)makes the [e]tabernacle of Yahweh unclean; and that person shall be cut off from Israel. Because the water for impurity was not [f](E)splashed on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is still 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 for seven days. 15 And every open vessel, which has no covering [g]tied down on it, shall be unclean. 16 (F)Also, anyone who in the open field touches one who has been slain with a sword or who has died naturally, or a human bone or a grave, shall be unclean for seven days. 17 Then for the unclean person they shall take some of the [h]ashes of the [i]burnt [j](G)purification from sin and [k]flowing water shall be [l]added to them in a vessel. 18 And a clean person shall take hyssop and dip it in the water and sprinkle it on the tent and on all the furnishings and on the persons who were there and on the one who touched the bone or the one slain or the one dying naturally or the grave. 19 Then the clean person (H)shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and on the seventh day he shall purify him from uncleanness, and he shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and shall be clean by evening.
20 ‘But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself from uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly because he has [m](I)made the sanctuary of Yahweh unclean; the water for impurity has not been [n]splashed on him; he is unclean. 21 So it shall be a perpetual statute for them. And he (J)who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until evening. 22 (K)Furthermore, anything that the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the person who touches it shall be unclean until evening.’”

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 Those who touch the dead body of any human being shall be unclean seven days.(A) 12 They shall purify themselves with the water on the third day and on the seventh day and so be clean, but if they do not purify themselves on the third day and on the seventh day, they will not become clean.(B) 13 All who touch a corpse, the body of a human being who has died, and do not purify themselves defile the tabernacle of the Lord; such persons shall be cut off from Israel. Since water for cleansing was not dashed on them, they remain unclean; their uncleanness is still on them.(C)
14 “This is the law when someone dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent and everyone who is in the tent shall be unclean seven days. 15 And every open vessel with no cover fastened on it is unclean. 16 Whoever in the open field touches one who has been killed by a sword or who has died naturally,[a] or a human bone, or a grave shall be unclean seven days.(D) 17 For the unclean they shall take some ashes of the burnt purification offering, and running water shall be added in a vessel;(E) 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.(F) 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.(G)
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.”(H)
