Numbers 19:13-16 Good News Bible (GNB)

13. Whoever touches a corpse and does not purify himself remains unclean, because the water for purification has not been thrown over him. He defiles the Lord's Tent, and he will no longer be considered one of God's people.

14. If someone dies in a tent, anyone who is in the tent at the time of death or who enters it becomes ritually unclean for seven days.

15. Every jar and pot in the tent that has no lid on it also becomes unclean.

16. If someone touches a person who has been killed or has died a natural death out of doors or if someone touches a human bone or a grave, he becomes unclean for seven days.
