12 That one shall (A)purify himself from uncleanness with [a]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 (B)Anyone who touches a corpse, the [b]body of a man who has died, and does not purify himself, [c](C)makes the [d]tabernacle of Yahweh unclean; and that person shall be cut off from Israel. Because the water for impurity was not [e](D)splashed on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is still on him.
