Numbers 19:13

Whosoever toucheth the dead the person of the human being that dieth and doth not cleanse himself from sin, the habitation of Yahweh, hath he made unclean; that person therefore shall be cut off out of Israel,—because, the water of separation, was not dashed upon him, unclean, shall he be, his uncleanness is yet upon him.
