Thematic Bible: Punishment for defiling


Thematic Bible



"So separate the Israelis from their uncleanness so that they won't die in their uncleanness if they defile my tent that is in their midst. Verse ConceptsExclusivenessHoliness,  Worldly SeparationParticipation, In SinSeparationDeath Due To God's PresencePolluting Holy Places

Anyone who comes in contact with a dead person (that is, with the corpse of a human being who has died), but who does not purify himself, defiles the LORD's tent. That person is to be eliminated from Israel, because the water of impurity wasn't sprinkled on him. He remains unclean and his uncleanness will remain with him.
