Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

"Command the people of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one having a discharge, and every one that is unclean through contact with the dead;

And there were certain men who were unclean through touching the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the passover on that day; and they came before Moses and Aaron on that day;

"Say to the people of Israel, If any man of you or of your descendants is unclean through touching a dead body, or is afar off on a journey, he shall still keep the passover to the LORD.

Encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever of you has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves and your captives on the third day and on the seventh day.

These are unclean to you among all that swarm; whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.

And the LORD said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them that none of them shall defile himself for the dead among his people,

he shall not go in to any dead body, nor defile himself, even for his father or for his mother;

They wandered, blind, through the streets, so defiled with blood that none could touch their garments.

Then said Haggai, "If one who is unclean by contact with a dead body touches any of these, does it become unclean?" The priests answered, "It does become unclean."

Therefore as sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all men sinned--

Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you,

And you he made alive, when you were dead through the trespasses and sins

how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
