Numbers 19:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 19:16

14 ‘This is the law when a man dies in a tent: All who come into the tent and all who are in the tent shall be unclean seven days;

15 and every ^aopen vessel, which has no cover fastened on it, is unclean.

16 ^aWhoever in the open field touches one who is slain by a sword or who has died, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

17 ‘And for an unclean person they shall take some of the ^aashes of the heifer burnt for purification from sin, and¹ running water shall be put on them in a vessel.

18 A clean person shall take ^ahyssop and dip it in the water, sprinkle it on the tent, on all the vessels, on the persons who were there, or on the one who touched a bone, the slain, the dead, or a grave.

19 The clean person shall sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; ^aand on the seventh day he shall purify himself, wash his clothes, and bathe in water; and at evening he shall be clean.

20 ‘But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself, that person shall be cut off from among the assembly, because he has ^adefiled the sanctuary of the Lord. The water of purification has not been sprinkled on him; he is unclean.
