Toucheth the dead

These are to you the unclean among all the swarming things; whoever touches them when they are dead becomes unclean until evening.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them:‘No one shall defile himself for a dead person among his people,

They wandered, blind, in the streets;
They were defiled with blood
So that no one could touch their garments.

Then Haggai said, “If one who is unclean from a corpse touches any of these, will the latter become unclean?” And the priests answered, “It will become unclean.”

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned—

“Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord.
“And do not touch what is unclean;
And I will welcome you.

And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through

the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
