²⁰ ‘But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself from uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD; the water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him, he is unclean. ²¹ So it shall be a perpetual statute for them. And he who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until evening. ²² Furthermore, anything that the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the person who touches it shall be unclean until evening.’”	20 Num 19:13 21 Num 19:7 22 Lev 5:2 Lev 5:3 Lev 7:21 Lev 22:5 Lev 22:6
