Anyone who touches a human corpse and fails to purify himself defiles the tabernacle of the LORD. That person must be cut off from Israel. He remains unclean, because the water of purification has not been sprinkled on him, and his uncleanness is still on him.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and doesn’t purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet on him.
World English Bible (WEB)
Whosoever toucheth{H5060}{(H8802)} the dead{H4191}{(H8801)} body{H5315} of any man{H120} that is dead{H4191}{(H8799)}, and purifieth{H2398}{(H8691)} not himself, defileth{H2930}{(H8765)} the tabernacle{H4908} of the LORD{H3068}; and that soul{H5315} shall be cut off{H3772}{(H8738)} from Israel{H3478}: because the water{H4325} of separation{H5079} was not sprinkled{H2236}{(H8795)} upon him, he shall be unclean{H2931}; his uncleanness{H2932} is yet upon him.
Strong's King James
Any one who is coming against the dead, against the body of man who dieth, and cleanseth not himself—the tabernacle of Jehovah he hath defiled, and that person hath been cut off from Israel, for water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he is unclean; his uncleanness is still upon him.
