Numbers 19:16 in Context — Numbers 19

14 Voici la loi. Lorsqu’un homme mourra dans une tente, quiconque entrera dans la tente, et quiconque se trouvera dans la tente, sera impur pendant sept jours.

15 Tout vase découvert, sur lequel il n’y aura point de couvercle attaché, sera impur.

16 Quiconque touchera, dans les champs, un homme tué par l’épée, ou un mort, ou des ossements humains, ou un sépulcre, sera impur pendant sept jours.

17 On prendra, pour celui qui est impur, de la cendre de la victime expiatoire qui a été brûlée, et on mettra dessus de l’eau vive dans un vase.

18 Un homme pur prendra de l’hysope, et la trempera dans l’eau; puis il en fera l’aspersion sur la tente, sur tous les ustensiles, sur les personnes qui sont là, sur celui qui a touché des ossements, ou un homme tué, ou un mort, ou un sépulcre.
