Numbers 19:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ Out in the countryside, the same general rule applies. If someone happens to touch a person either killed outright or who simply died naturally, or if he touches a single human bone or a whole gravesite, he shall be impure for the week. ¹⁷ For such a person, take some of the aforesaid ashes mixed in a container with running water. ¹⁸ A person who is ritually pure should then dip a hyssop branch into the water and splash some water on the contaminated home—and on all the things in it and the people, too—or on the person who touched a corpse or some part of a dead person.
