⁶ And there are men who have been defiled by the body of a man, and they have not been able to prepare the passover on that day, and they come near before Moses, and before Aaron, on that day,

² and stand before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes, and all the company, at the opening of the tent of meeting, saying:

¹⁵ And Moses saith to his father-in-law, `Because the people come unto me to seek God;

¹⁶ `And every one who cometh, on the face of the field, against the pierced of a sword, or against the dead, or against a bone of man, or against a grave, is unclean seven days;

¹¹ `He who is coming against the dead body of any man -- is unclean seven days;

² `Command the sons of Israel, and they send out of the camp every leper, and every one with an issue, and every one defiled by a body;

²⁸ They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

¹⁸ and a clean person hath taken hyssop, and hath dipped `it' in water, and hath sprinkled on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who have been there, and on him who is coming against a bone, or against one pierced, or against the dead, or against a grave.

²⁶ and they have judged the people at all times; the hard matter they bring in unto Moses, and every small matter they judge themselves.

¹⁹ `Now, hearken to my voice, I counsel thee, and God is with thee: be thou for the people over-against God, and thou hast brought in the things unto God;

⁵ and Moses bringeth near their cause before Jehovah.

³³ and those finding him gathering wood bring him near unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company,

⁶ `All days of his keeping separate to Jehovah, near a dead person he doth not go;

⁷ for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister -- he is not unclean for them at their death, for the separation of his God `is' on his head;

¹¹ and the son of the Israelitish woman execrateth the Name, and revileth; and they bring him in unto Moses; and his mother's name `is' Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;

¹¹ nor beside any dead person doth he come; for his father and for his mother he doth not defile himself;
