Primary Verses:
- Num. 6:6-8
-
"All the days that he separateth
himself unto the LORD
he shall come at no dead body.
He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for
his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when
they die: because the consecration of his God is upon
his head. All the days of his separation he is holy
unto the LORD."
Supporting Verses:
-
Num. 19:11-16
-
"He
that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean
seven days. He shall purify himself
with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he
shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third
day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
Whosoever 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 is yet upon
him. This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all
that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent,
shall be unclean seven days. And every open vessel,
which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean. And
whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the
open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a
grave, shall be unclean seven days."
