Numbers 19:11  (King James Version)
He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
 


toucheth the dead
He who touched a dead beast was only unclean for one day, ( Leviticus 11:12 , 27, ; 39;) but he who touches a dead man is unclean
for seven days. This was certainly designed to show the peculiar impurity and sinfulness of man, and the hatefulness of sin, seven times worse than the vilest animal! 16 ; 5:2 Numbers 9:6 Numbers 9:10 31:19 Leviticus 11:31 ; Leviticus 21:1 Leviticus 21:11 Lamentations 4:14 ; Haggai 2:13
