But you must not redeem the firstborn of a cow or a sheep or a goat; they are holy. You must splash<n id="1" /> their blood on the altar and burn their fat for an offering made by fire for a pleasing aroma to the <sc>Lordsc>.

Anyone who touches the corpse of any dead person and does not purify himself defiles the tabernacle of the <sc>Lordsc>. And that person must be cut off from Israel,<n id="1" /> because the water of purification was not sprinkled on him. He will be unclean; his uncleanness remains on him.p>

But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself, that person must be cut off from among the community, because he has polluted the sanctuary of the <sc>Lordsc>; the water of purification was not sprinkled on him, so he is unclean.p>
