And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:

Verse 18 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.

Und ein reiner Mann soll Isop nehmen und ins Wasser tauchen und die Hütte besprengen und alle Geräte und alle Seelen, die darin sind; also auch den, der eines Toten Gebein oder einen Erschlagenen oder Toten oder ein Grab angerührt hat.
Y un hombre limpio tomará hisopo. y mojaralo en el agua, y rociará sobre la tienda, y sobre todos los muebles, y sobre las personas que allí estuvieren, y sobre aquel que hubiere tocado el hueso, o el matado, o el muerto, o el sepulcro:
Un homme pur prendra de l'hysope, et la trempera dans l'eau; puis il en fera l'aspersion sur la tente, sur tous les ustensiles, sur les personnes qui sont là, sur celui qui a touché des ossements, ou un homme tué, ou un mort, ou un sépulcre.
Poi pigli un uomo che sia netto, dell’isopo, e intingalo in quell’acqua, e spruzzine quel padiglione, e tutti que’ vaselli, e tutte le persone che vi saranno dentro; spruzzine parimente colui che avrà tocco l’osso, o l’uomo ucciso, o l’uomo morto da sè, o la sepoltura.
E um homem limpo tomará hissopo, e o molhará naquela água, e a espargirá sobre aquela tenda, e sobre todos os móveis, e sobre as pessoas que ali estiverem, como também sobre aquele que tocar os ossos, ou em alguém que foi morto, ou que faleceu, ou numa sepultura.
一個潔淨的人要拿牛膝草蘸在這水中,把水彈在帳棚上,和一切器皿以及帳棚內的人身上,又要彈在那摸了骨頭,或摸了被殺的或自然死的,或摸了墳墓的人身上。
