He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 19 of Numbers. The regulations detail how those who have touched a corpse must be purified and how contamination can be transmitted to people or objects. Death appears as a source of ritual impurity incompatible with proximity to the sanctuary. The regulation does not deny the reality of death, but establishes a procedure through which the community can recover the ritual condition necessary to participate in camp life.

Der soll sich hiermit entsündigen am dritten Tage und am siebenten Tage, so wird er rein; und wo er sich nicht am dritten Tage und am siebenten Tage entsündigt, so wird er nicht rein werden.
Este se purificará al tercer día con aquesta agua, y al séptimo día será limpio; y si al tercer día no se purificare, no será limpio al séptimo día.
Se purificará con esa agua el tercer día y el séptimo día; entonces quedará puro. Pero si no se purifica el tercer día y el séptimo día, no quedará puro.
Il se purifiera avec cette eau le troisième jour et le septième jour, et il sera pur; mais, s'il ne se purifie pas le troisième jour et le septième jour, il ne sera pas pur.
Purifichisi al terzo giorno con quell’acqua, e al settimo giorno sarà netto; ma s’egli non sarà purificato al terzo giorno, nè anche sarà netto al settimo.
Ao terceiro dia se purificará com aquela água, e ao sétimo dia será limpo; mas, se ao terceiro dia se não purificar, não será limpo ao sétimo dia.
那人要在第三天和第七天潔淨自己,他就潔淨了。若他不在第三天和第七天潔淨自己,他就不潔淨了。
