Every one that toucheth the corpse of a man, and is not sprinkled with this mixture, shall profane the tabernacle of the Lord, and shall perish out of Israel. Because he was not sprinkled with the water of expiation, he shall be unclean; and his uncleanness shall remain upon him.
The Lord said also to Moses: Speak to the priests the sons of Aaron, and thou shalt say to them: Let not a priest incur an uncleanness at the death of his citizens.
But if any man die suddenly before him, the head of his consecration shall be defiled. And he shall shave it forthwith on the same day of his purification: and again on the seventh day.
