Numbers 6:6

“‘All the days that he separates himself to the Lord he must not contact ¹  a dead body. ² 

Throughout the period of his separation to the LORD he must not go near a dead body.

‘All the days of his separation to the LORD he shall not go near to a dead person.

And they may not go near a dead body during the entire period of their vow to the LORD,

"Also, for the duration of the consecration to GOD, you must not go near a corpse.

All the time he is separate he may not come near any dead body.

All the days that they separate themselves to the LORD they shall not go near a corpse.

‘All the days that he separates himself to the LORD he shall not go near a dead body.

“‘All the days that he separates himself to the Lord he must not contact ¹  a dead body. ² 

¹ tn The Hebrew verb is simply “enter, go,” no doubt with the sense of go near.

² tn The Hebrew has נֶפֶשׁ מֵת (nefesh met), literally a “dead person.” But since the word נֶפֶשׁ can also be used for animals, the restriction would be for any kind of corpse. Death was very much a part of the fallen world, and so for one so committed to the Lord, avoiding all such contamination would be a witness to the greatest separation, even in a family.
