13Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness yet upon him.
14This the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
