11 (A)The one who touches the corpse of any [a]person shall be unclean for seven days. 12 That one shall (B)purify himself from uncleanness with [b]the water on the third day and on the seventh day, and then he will be clean; but if he does not purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean. 13 (C)Anyone who touches a corpse, the [c]body of a man who has died, and does not purify himself, [d](D)makes the [e]tabernacle of Yahweh unclean; and that person shall be cut off from Israel. Because the water for impurity was not [f](E)splashed on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is still on him.
