Numbers 19:20 in Context — Numbers 19

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.

19 Celui qui est pur fera l’aspersion sur celui qui est impur, le troisième jour et le septième jour, et il le purifiera le septième jour. Il lavera ses vêtements, et se lavera dans l’eau; et le soir, il sera pur.

20 Un homme qui sera impur, et qui ne se purifiera pas, sera retranché du milieu de l’assemblée, car il a souillé le sanctuaire de l’Éternel; comme l’eau de purification n’a pas été répandue sur lui, il est impur.

21 Ce sera pour eux une loi perpétuelle. Celui qui fera l’aspersion de l’eau de purification lavera ses vêtements, et celui qui touchera l’eau de purification sera impur jusqu’au soir.

22 Tout ce que touchera celui qui est impur sera souillé, et la personne qui le touchera sera impure jusqu’au soir.
