Numbers 19:11-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. Whoever touches the corpse of a man, and is, because of this, unclean for seven days,

12. shall be sprinkled from this water on the third and seventh days, and so shall he be cleansed. But if he was not sprinkled on the third day, he is not able to be cleansed on the seventh.

13. Anyone who will have touched the dead body of a human life, and who has not been sprinkled with this mixture, pollutes the tabernacle of the Lord, and he shall perish out of Israel. For not having been sprinkled with the water of expiation, he shall be unclean, and his filth shall remain upon him.

14. This is the law of a man who dies in a tent. All who enter into his tent, and all the vessels which are there, shall be polluted for seven days.

15. The vessel that has no cover or binding over it shall be unclean.

16. If anyone in the field will have touched the corpse of a man, who was killed or who died on his own, or his bone, or his grave, he shall be unclean for seven days.

17. And they shall take some of the ashes from the burning and the sin offering, and they shall pour living waters over them into a vessel.
