'Dead' in the Bible

These are unclean for you among all the swarming creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead will be unclean until evening.

You are not to make gashes on your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves; I am Yahweh.

The Lord said to Moses: “Speak to Aaron’s sons, the priests, and tell them: A priest is not to make himself ceremonially unclean for a dead person among his relatives,

He must not go near any dead person or make himself unclean even for his father or mother.

No man of Aaron’s descendants who has a skin disease or a discharge is to eat from the holy offerings until he is clean. Whoever touches anything made unclean by a dead person or by a man who has an emission of semen,

I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your dead bodies on the lifeless bodies of your idols; I will reject you.
