14
This
is the law when anyone dies in a tent; all that come into the tent and all that
are in the tent shall be unclean seven days.
15
And every open vessel which has no lid fastened upon it
shall be unclean.
16
And whoever touches one that is slain with a sword in the open fields or a dead body or a human bone or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
17
And for the unclean
person they shall take of the dust of the heifer
that was burnt as sin and put living water over it in a vessel;
18
and a clean person shall take hyssop and dip
it in the water and sprinkle
it upon the tent and upon all the stuff and upon the persons that were there and upon the one that touched the bone or the one slain or the one dead or the grave.
19
And the clean
person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and when he has removed the sin from them the seventh day, he shall then wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and shall be clean in the evening.
20
But the man that shall be unclean and shall not cause the sin to be removed from himself, that person shall be cut off from among the congregation because he has defiled the tabernacle of the LORD; the water of separation has not been sprinkled upon him; he
is unclean.
21
And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them,
also he that sprinkles the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that touches the water of separation shall be unclean until evening.
22
And whatever the unclean
person touches shall be unclean; and the person that touches
it shall be unclean until evening.
