- Though the Israelites had acted by the commission of God, yet they had contracted pollution by touching the dead; and the spoil having been used by idolaters, must also be purified in the prescribed manner. "Commandª°¹ the childrenª of Israel,ª that they put outª° of¹ the campª every¹ leper,ª° and every one¹ that hath an issue,ª° and whosoever¹ is defiledª by the dead:ª" {Num 5:2} + "He that touchethª° the deadª° bodyª of any¹ manª shall be uncleanª° sevenª days.ª ... And whatsoever¹¹ the uncleanª [person] touchethª° shall be unclean;ª° and the soulª that touchethª° [it] shall be uncleanª° until¹ even.ª" {Num 19:11-22} + "But the wordª of the LORDª came¹ to¹ me, saying,ª° Thou hast shedª° bloodª abundantly,ª and hast madeª° greatª wars:ª thou shalt not¹ buildª° an houseª unto my name,ª because¹ thou hast shedª° muchª bloodª upon the earthª in my sight.ª" {1Ch 22:8}
