But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.

Verse 20 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.

Welcher aber unrein sein wird und sich nicht entsündigen will, des Seele soll ausgerottet werden aus der Gemeinde; denn er hat das Heiligtum des HERRN verunreinigt und ist mit Sprengwasser nicht besprengt; darum ist er unrein.
Y el que fuere inmundo, y no se purificare, la tal persona será cortada de entre la congregación, por cuanto contaminó el tabernáculo de Jehová: no fue rociada sobre él el agua de separación, es inmundo.
Pero el hombre que quede impuro y no se purifique, esa persona será excluida de en medio de la asamblea, porque ha contaminado el santuario de Jehová. No se ha salpicado sobre él el agua de purificación; está impuro.
Un homme qui sera impur, et qui ne se purifiera pas, sera retranché du milieu de l'assemblée, car il a souillé le sanctuaire de l'Eternel; comme l'eau de purification n'a pas été répandue sur lui, il est impur.
Ma, se alcuno, essendo immondo, non si purifica, sia quella persona ricisa di mezzo la raunanza; conciossiachè abbia contaminato il Santuario del Signore; l’acqua di purificazione non è stata sparsa sopra lui; egli è immondo.
Porém o que for imundo, e se não purificar, do meio da congregação será ele extirpado; porquanto contaminou o santuário do SENHOR; água de separação sobre ele não foi espargida; imundo é.
但任何不潔淨的人,他若不潔淨自己,那人要從會中剪除,因為他玷污了耶和華的聖所,除污穢的水沒有灑在他身上,他是不潔淨的。
