Numbers 19:20-22

The Voice

²⁰ Those who don’t so purify themselves shall be cast out of the community because they have scorned and polluted My holy place. Since the cleansing water hasn’t been splashed on them, they are impure. ²¹ This is a perpetual decree. The person who sprinkles the water and the one who touches the water for impurity also needs to wash his clothes after handling the cleansing water and will be ritually impure until evening. ²² Everything any impure person touches will be impure and make others who touch it impure, too, until evening.
