Numbers 19:20Easy To Read Version“If a person becomes unclean [264] and does not become clean, [265] that person must be separated from the people of Israel. That person was not sprinkled with the special water. He did not become clean. So he might make the Holy Tent [266] unclean. See the chapter |
If a person touches a dead body, then that person is unclean. If that person stays unclean and then goes to the Holy Tent, [257] then the Holy Tent becomes unclean. So that person must be separated from the people of Israel. If the special water is not thrown on an unclean person, then that person will stay unclean.
But any person who is able must celebrate Passover at the right time. If he is clean [145] and he is not away on a trip, then he has no excuse. If that person does not celebrate Passover at the right time, then he must be separated from his people. He is guilty and must be punished! Why? Because he did not give the Lord his gift at the right time.
