But there were some men who were unclean because of contact with a dead person, so that they could not celebrate Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.Those men said to him,“ Though we are unclean because of a dead person, why are we kept from presenting the offering of the Lord at its appointed time among the sons of Israel?”Moses then said to them,“ Wait, and I will listen to what the Lord will command concerning you.”Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ Speak to the sons of Israel, saying,‘ If any one of you or of your generations becomes unclean because of a dead person, or is on a distant journey, he may, however, celebrate the Passover to the Lord.

Numbers 19:11-16
‘ The one who touches the dead body of any person will also be unclean for seven days.That one shall purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day, and then he will be clean; but if he does not purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean.Anyone who touches a dead body, the body of a person who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from Israel. Since the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he will be unclean; his uncleanness is still on him.‘ This is the law when a person dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent and everyone who is in the tent will be unclean for seven days.And every open container, which has no cover tied down on it, will be unclean.Also, anyone who in the open field touches one who has been killed with a sword or one who has died naturally, or touches a human bone or a grave, will be unclean for seven days.

Leviticus 15:2-27
“ Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them,‘ When any man has a discharge from his body, his discharge is unclean.This, moreover, shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: it is his uncleanness whether his body allows its discharge to flow or whether his body obstructs its discharge.Every bed on which the man with the discharge lies becomes unclean, and everything on which he sits becomes unclean.Anyone, moreover, who touches his bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening;and whoever sits on the thing on which the man with the discharge has been sitting, shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.Also whoever touches the man with the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.Or if the man with the discharge spits on one who is clean, he too shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.Every saddle on which the man with the discharge rides becomes unclean.Whoever then touches any of the things which were under him shall be unclean until evening, and the one who carries them shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.Likewise, whomever the man with the discharge touches without having rinsed his hands in water shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.However, an earthenware vessel which the man with the discharge touches shall be broken, and every wooden vessel shall be rinsed in water.‘ Now when the man with the discharge becomes cleansed from his discharge, then he shall count off for himself seven days for his cleansing; he shall then wash his clothes and bathe his body in running water and will become clean.Then on the eighth day he shall take for himself two turtledoves or two young doves, and come before the Lord to the doorway of the tent of meeting and give them to the priest;and the priest shall offer them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf before the Lord because of his discharge.‘ Now if a man has a seminal emission, he shall bathe all his body in water and be unclean until evening.As for any garment or any leather on which there is a seminal emission, it shall be washed with water and be unclean until evening.If a man sleeps with a woman so that there is a seminal emission, they shall both bathe in water and be unclean until evening.‘ When a woman has a discharge, if her discharge in her body is blood, she shall continue in her menstrual impurity for seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening.Everything also on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean.Anyone who touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.Whoever touches any object on which she sits shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.Whether it be on the bed or on the thing on which she is sitting, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until evening.If a man actually sleeps with her so that her menstrual impurity is on him, he shall be unclean seven days, and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean.‘ Now if a woman has a discharge of her blood for many days, not at the period of her menstrual impurity, or if she has a discharge beyond that period, for all the days of her impure discharge she shall continue as though in her menstrual impurity; she is unclean.Any bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her like her bed at menstruation; and every object on which she sits shall be unclean, like her uncleanness at that time.Likewise, whoever touches them shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.
