Laws of Uncleanness:
Issue of Blood

​​Num 5:1-3

 And Ahayah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp... every one that hath an issue,...3 Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.

Lev 15:19, 31  

And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days:..31  

Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them

​

  • Being "put apart" means she is separated from entering the Tabernacle, [Lev 15:31] being amongst the congregation at the Tabernacle where Ahayah dwells, [Num 5:1-3] sleeping in the same bed where others sleep [Lev 15:21] or sitting in the same seat as others: [Lev 15:22] 

Lev 15:19

And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days:

  • The day it’s known she is bleeding, from that night (new day) that comes in, number 7 days 

Leviticus 15:19

And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, 

  • Once its known that her isssue is blood, the next step is to put her apart for the seven days:

she shall be put apart seven days:

  • The seven day count starts from that night when the new day begins.

​

​The Laws of Separation

Lev 15:19

And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.

  • Touching her flesh does make a person unclean but does not require any bathing or washing to be clean when night comes (unless he is a son of Aaron {priest} desiring to eat the holy things). The person made unclean by touching the menstruous woman's flesh cannot eat of the peace offerings:

Leviticus 7:20

But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto Ahayah, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people. 21 Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto Ahayah, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

  • For the sons of Aaron, if made unclean for these specific reasons, they must wash and bathe before even to be clean that they may eat of the holy things when clean:

Leviticus 22:4

What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him; 5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath; 6 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water. 7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.

​

Can She Make You Unclean?

  • In continuation on the laws for a woman's issues of blood, the person made unclean by touching her flesh cannot defile anyone or anything else to make either of them unclean by contact. This means that person who was made unclean by touching her can still go amongst the congregation at the Tabernacle though they are unclean until even. Also, the woman with the issue of blood's clothes she has on cannot make anyone unclean though touching her flesh makes you unclean. The woman with the issue of blood twelve years is an example of this fact because she walked through a crowd and no one was defiled from her clothes and she didn’t defile Lord Yache when she touched his clothes being mindful of the law not to make him unclean by touching his flesh: 

Luk 8:43-44  

And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, 44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

Mar 5:30

And Yache, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

  • By precept, non-skin contact does not defile anyone from a woman with an issue of blood. 

What Can She Make Unclean?

  • The things she can make unclean in her separation can be as follows:

Lev 15:20-21  

And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean:..21  And whosoever toucheth her bed..

  • her bed where she lays is unclean for the duration of her separation.

Lev 15:20, 22

...every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.​22 And whosoever toucheth any thing H3627 that she sat upon

Definition:

H3627   (Strong)

כלי

From H3615; something prepared, that is, any apparatus (as an implement, utensil, dress, vessel or weapon): - armour ([-bearer]), artillery, bag, carriage, + furnish, furniture, instrument, jewel, that is made of, X one from another, that which pertaineth, pot, + psaltery, sack, stuff, thing, tool, vessel, ware, weapon, + whatsoever.

  • The things she sits upon like a rug, mat, sheets, furniture (seats/chairs), cushions, toilets, or clothes (that she isn't actually wearing) is unclean for the duration of her separation. The floor itself on the other hand, is not something she can make unclean by sitting upon it.

​

How Can She make You Unclean?

  • The other ways she can defile a person are as follows:

Lev 15:20  

And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.​

  • These items are unclean for the seven days of her separation and can defile others. This is why it is expedient that she have her own bed and seat for the duration of her separation, yet she is not separated from people all together. She just cannot be amongst the congregation at the Tabernacle. Outside of that setting, she just has to have her bed of separation, a designated place to sit, and proper clothing to cover her flesh to avoid defiling anyone else in any other setting.

Lev 15:21-22  

And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 22 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

  • For the reasons of touching her bed and whatever thing she sat upon, a person can be made unclean and would be required to wash their clothes and bathe themselves. After the washing and bathing requirements, one is clean when night comes. If one does not wash and bathe as commanded in the same day, then you are still unclean until the day you both wash your clothes you had on when made unclean and bathe before evening to be clean when night comes. When unclean from touching her bed or what she sat upon, you can not make others unclean, so you can still be amongst the congregation at the Tabernacle.

Lev 15:23  

And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.

  •  If her blood is upon her bed or something she sat on, the person who touches the blood is unclean though they aren't required to wash or bathe before even if they did not actually touch her bed or the thing she sat upon. Such instances can occur when she has completed her seven days of purification so the bed or seat may be clean but blood was still upon the bed or thing she sat on and someone touches the blood. (Touching her menstrual blood will make you unclean.)

​

What Shall We Not Due For The Duration Of Her Issue?

  • It is unlawful to uncover a woman's nakedness for the duration of her being put apart for her issue of blood:

Lev 18:19  

Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.

  • Remember, foreplay (though one may not have intercourse) will also make a man unclean for touching her flesh and ought not to be done for the duration of her uncleanness. [Lev 15:19] It is also unlawful to have intercourse with a woman during her time of being put apart for her issue of blood. If a man goes to lie with her and uncover her nakedness and the woman uncover her fountain to the man, there are judgements for both persons involved: 

Lev 20:18  

And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

  • This sin has no washing to cleanse from it. They can only confess the sin of ignorance and pray to find mercy from the Lord. {Num 15:28-29} If it is done presumptuously, the persons will bear their iniquity. {Num 15:30-31} Also the man who does lie with a woman during her sickness is defiled for 7 days and can defile beds:

Lev 15:24  

And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.

  • He defiles the bed, yet the bed cannot defile anyone nor can he, himself, defile people. If a man lie with a woman during her sickness with the issue of blood, they both are cut off and the man is unclean 7 days.  

​

How Long do the Laws of Separation Last?

​

  • If the woman's issue of blood stops within the seven days of separation, there is no requirement to wait an additional seven days to be cleansed nor offerings to be made on behalf of her for iniquity (as she just had her regular menstrual cycle).

Lev 15:19

And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days...

  • On the other hand, if her issue of blood runs beyond the seven days (due to some iniquity on her behalf), the cleansing process changes and requires an offering for an atonement for her iniquity:

Lev 15:25  

And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.

  • This means the laws of separation apply so long as she is bleeding. 

Lev 15:26-28  

Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation. 27 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 28 But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.

  • If her bleeding continued after her initial 7 days of separation, she remains unclean until the bleeding stops. When the bleeding stops in this scenario, she has to number 7 days for cleansing after the day that it stopped. During those 7 days of cleansing, her bed, seats, and her flesh can’t make anyone else unclean. On the eighth day, she has to make an offering to atone for her iniquity according to the law of faith under grace:

Leviticus 15:29-31

And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 30 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before Ahayah for the issue of her uncleanness. 31 Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.

Laws of Uncleanness:
Child Birth

How are humans made?​

Wisdom of Solomon 7:1
I myself also am a mortal man, like to all, and the offspring of him that was first made of the earth,

  •  All men are the offspring of Adam because we come from his seed (sperm) through his sons in our respective genealogies. 

Wisdom of Solomon 7:2
And in my mother's womb was fashioned to be flesh in the time of ten months, being compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure that came with sleep.

  • The "pleasure that came with sleep" is "intercourse," from which “the seed of man” known to us today as “sperm,” goes forth from the man and is conceived in the womb of a woman where the seed of the man is fashioned into flesh which is their child. Men were given wives from the beginning to impregnate them in this fashion:

Enoch 15:5
5. Therefore have I given them wives also that they might impregnate them, and beget children by them, that thus nothing might be wanting to them on earth

  • The seed of Man is an “ill smelling drop” by which a man is wrought out of in the womb of a woman.

Appendix of the Testament of Naphtali 10:7
It is therefore proper for man to lay to heart all these things, Who hath created him, and Who it is that hath wrought him out of an ill-smelling drop in the womb of the woman, ......​

  • When a man and woman sleep together, the seed of copulation makes them unclean:

Lev 15:18  

The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even. â€‹

  • Through scripture, the children of men come from the seed of man which is fashioned (made) to be flesh being compacted in blood, fire (electricity), and water in the womb of a woman 9-10 months.

2Es 8:8

For when the body is fashioned now in the mother's womb, and thou givest it members, thy creature is preserved in fire and water, and nine months doth thy workmanship endure thy creature which is created in her.

Wisdom of Solomon 7:2
And in my mother's womb was fashioned to be flesh in the time of ten months, being compacted in blood
 

  • After 9-10 months, that ill smelling drop of seed, now being made flesh, comes forth


2Es 4:40-41
So he answered me, and said, Go thy way to a woman with child, and ask of her when she hath fulfilled her nine months, if her womb may keep the birth any longer within her. 41 Then said I, No, Lord, that can she not..

​

  • When the child comes forth, he cries as all other children do and is nursed with care.

Wisdom of Solomon 7:3-6
And when I was born, I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth, which is of like nature, and the first voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do. 4 I was nursed in swaddling clothes, and that with cares. 5 For there is no king that had any other beginning of birth. 6 For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going out.

​

Understanding the Childbirth Process

 

  • According to scripture, the woman has to fulfill the covenant of bearing children in the sorrow of her conception for her salvation, so the woman has to complete the birthing process without the drugs of the modern day medical industry.

Gen 3:16

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; ..

  • On the other hand, natural remedies are upright to use in the pregnancy and birthing process for women.

Sir 38:4  

The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them.

  • Natural remedies like drinking Castor oil or eating eggplant to induce labor is righteous as the Lord has given medicines of the earth. It is also righteous to increase one's diet in the necessary essential herbs for pregnancy, but one has to be mindful of the drugs that are offered at the hospitals and by the referrals of the physicians who may not be aware of the customs of the Christian faith. It's expedient to complete the birthing process naturally to fulfill the covenant of Alahayim for the woman.

 

Apocalypse of Moses CHAPTER 25

"And the Lord turned to me and said: 'Since thou hast hearkened to the serpent, and turned a deaf ear to my

commandment, thou shalt be in throes of travail and intolerable agonies; thou shalt bear children in much trembling, and in one hour thou shalt come to the birth, and lose thy life, from thy sore trouble and anguish. But thou shalt confess and say: “Lord, Lord, save me, and I will turn no more to the sin of the flesh." And on this account, from thine own words I will judge thee, by reason of the enmity which the enemy has planted in thee.'

Enmity: the state or feeling of being actively opposed or hostile to someone or something.

  • The enmity the devil planted in the woman is disobedience turning to the sin of the flesh not being subject to the law which shows the enmity against Alahayim.  

Rom 8:7-8

Because the carnal mind is enmity against Alahayim: for it is not subject to the law of Alahayim, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please Alahayim.

​

  • As for the birthing process, C-sections were not a practice used for birthing children and the unnatural drugs like morphine can hurt someone in the long run. Secondly, a c-section hinders one from fulfilling the covenant for the woman to be saved in childbearing according to the testimonies. The birthing process is a growing experience in faith to Alahayim as righteous women of old have experienced. There is no account of righteous women having c-sections to bear children nor taking unnatural medicines. It is needful for the woman to endure the sorrow of bringing forth children and come to that hour of birth because it is by that covenant that the Lord will judge her.(Apoc of Moses Ch.25) This is why Paul attested that the women shall be saved in childbearing:

1Ti 2:14

 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

  •  We get understanding as to why a woman will be saved in childbearing because she is brought to the gates of death and pleads for her life to the Lord offering to be obedient by not turning to the sin of the flesh in enmity anymore if she is saved. Then when He spares her life as she asked, "if she continues in faith, charity, and holiness with sobriety" as she attested she would do, she will be saved through the love she operates in unto Alahayim through her good fruits of repentance unto Them. 

​

​

The Laws of Child Birth

  • After the child is born, there is a process of purification that was implemented from the beginning when the first male and female were made:

Jubilees 3:6-8 

And Ahayah our Alahayim caused a deep sleep to fall upon him, and he slept, and He took for the woman one rib from amongst his ribs, and this rib was the origin of the woman from amongst his ribs, and He built up the flesh in its stead, and built the woman. 7 And He awaked Adam out of his sleep and on awaking he rose on the sixth day, and He brought her to him, and he knew her, and said to her: 'This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called my wife; because she was taken from her husband.' 8 In the first week was Adam created, and the rib his wife: in the second week He showed her unto him: and for this reason the commandment was given to keep in their defilement, for a male seven days, and for a female twice seven days.

  • So Adam was made in the first week, but the woman was made and shown to him on the 6th day of the second week. This gives us understanding as to why the separation period is ordained for males 7 days and females 14 days.

Jubilees 3:9

And after Adam had completed forty days in the land where he had been created, we brought him into the Garden of Eden to till and keep it, but his wife they brought in on the eightieth day and after this she entered into the Garden of Eden. 10 And for this reason the commandment is written on the heavenly tablets in regard to her that gives birth: 'If she bears a male, she shall remain in her uncleanness seven days according to the first week of days, and thirty and three days shall she remain in the blood of her purifying, and she shall not touch any Holy thing, nor enter into the sanctuary, until she accomplishes these days which (are enjoined) in the case of a male child.

  • This law is actually on the heavenly tablets because the laws are spiritual. [Romans 7:14] and endure eternally.

Jubilees 3:11

But in the case of a female child she shall remain in her uncleanness two weeks of days, according to the first two weeks, and sixty-six days in the blood of her purification, and they will be in all eighty days.' 12 And when she had completed these eighty days we brought her into the Garden of Eden, for it is most Holy than all the earth besides and every tree that is planted in it is Holy. 13 Therefore, there was ordained regarding her who bears a male or a female child the statute of those days that she should touch no holy thing, nor enter into the sanctuary until these days for the male or female child are accomplished. 14 This is the Law and testimony which was written down for Israel, in order that they should observe it all the days.​

Lev 12:2 

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. 

  • During the 7 days, the law of separation applies which can be further understood in the “issue of blood” segment.

Lev 12:5 

But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.

  •  During the 14 days, the law of separation applies which can be further understood in the “issue of blood” segment.)​

Lev 12:4 

And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled​

​

  • Due to this uncleanness, she can be around people so long as she is not entering into the sanctuary or touching any hollowed thing for the allotted time as the law states. She can eat regular meals though unclean:

Deu 12:21-22  

If the place which Ahayah thy Alahayim hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which Ahayah hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after. 22 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike. 23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. 

Lev 7:20-21  

But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto Ahayah, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people. 21 Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto Ahayah, even that soul shall be cut off from his people. 

What shall be done after the Days of Separation?​​

​

  • After the days of her separation for a male, on the 8th day the male child of the house of Israel must be circumcised and named (even if the name was revealed prior to that day as was the case of Yache the Christ). He cannot come to the sanctuary until the 40 days are complete.

Lev 12:3 

And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 

Gen 21:4 

And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as Alahayim had commanded him. 

Luk 1:59 

And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. 

  • Example of 8th day name revelation even though the name was foretold:

Luk 2:21  

And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Yache, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

​

Understanding the Blood of Her Purifying

  • 33 for male, 66 for female.

Lev 12:4 

And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled. 5  But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days

​

  • During the blood of her purifying, she is no longer utterly polluted to the extent that she can’t touch anyone, so she can continue to be around others and she is no longer able to defile them, yet she is still unclean from entering the Sanctuary and touching the holy things.  

  • During the initial separation of 7 days for a male and 14 days for a female, the child becomes unclean from the mother's physical touch, but the child cannot defile anyone. During the time of the blood of purifying on the other hand, the baby is not unclean from the mother's touch anymore. 

  • After the Blood of her Purification is complete, she can enter the sanctuary, touch the holy things, and eat of the sacrifices of peace offerings.

Law: â€‹

Lev 12:6-8  

And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest: Who shall offer it before Ahayah, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female. And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean. 

Example: 

Luk 2:22, 24

And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; 24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. 

​

The Laws for Purification after childbirth are as follows:

  • A male: (Number the days from the first time the sun goes down AFTER the child is born).

    • 7 days in the SEPARATION for the blood of her infirmity. Lev 12:2;15:19-24 {reference the Issue of blood tab.} The laws of Separation in Lev 15:19-24 apply.

    • Circumcise on 8th day. This is the covenant for the children of Israel and must be kept. [Genesis 17:9-14]

    • Reveal the name of the male child on the 8th day. [Luke 1:59-63; 2:21] 

    • 33 days in the blood of her purifying. (She still is unclean and can't touch the holy things nor enter the sanctuary, but she cannot defile anything or anyone during her purifying.)

  • A female: (Number the days from the first time the sun goes down AFTER the child is born).

    • 14 days in the SEPARATION for the blood of her infirmity. Lev 12:5;15:19-24

    • 66 days in the blood of her purifying. (She still is unclean and can't touch the holy things nor enter the sanctuary, but she cannot defile anything or anyone while in her purifying.)

Laws of Uncleanness:
Running Issues in the Flesh

​What is an issue in the Flesh?

Leviticus 15:1-2

  • The person is unclean until the the issue is healed from the flux from the flesh. If a person’s issue stop then they must number to themselves seven days for their cleansing, and wash their clothes, and bathe their flesh in running water, and shall be clean.

What can the Unclean with an Issue make Unclean For the Day?

Leviticus 15:4, 9-10

Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean. 9 And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean. 10 And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even

And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even and he that beareth any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

  • Touching the unclean bed and sitting in the unclean seat (toilet included) makes a person unclean until they’ve washed and bathed. (requires washing clothes or bathing before even). [Lev 15:5-6]

  • Touching the things that were under him with your flesh makes you unclean for the day (requires no washing clothes or bathing before even). [Lev 15:10]

  • Anything the unclean sits upon  (i.e. mats rugs clothes) is unclean for that day and can make others unclean by touching it with their flesh (it has to be your flesh like hands or feet, not your shoes per se.) yet you don’t have to wash your clothes or bathe just because you touched it with your flesh. [Lev 15:9-10] On the other hand, if you bear (carry or hold) those things that were under them, you’ll have to wash your clothes and bathe before even. [Lev 15:10] When it comes to the toilet seat, if the unclean person sits upon it, it is unclean for that day. [Lev 15:4,9] Only touching the unclean toilet during the day makes you unclean and doesn’t require washing [Lev 15:10] but sitting upon the unclean toilet seat requires you to bathe and wash your clothes before even. [Lev 15:6]

How Can Others be Defiled Directly by the Unclean with an Issue (Disease/Infection)?

Leviticus 15:7-8

And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 8 And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

  • Touching the unclean person’s flesh with direct contact [Lev 15:7] or getting their saliva on one’s self will make a person unclean [Lev 15:8] and requires washing clothes and bathing before even in both instances.

Leviticus 15:11

And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

  • The unclean must wash his hands in order to touch someone else without defiling them according to the law. If he doesn’t wash his hands he will make them unclean and they will be required to wash their clothes and bathe before even. [Lev 15:11]

How to Manage the Issue at Home and in the Church

  • Since the unclean person with an issue can make things unclean and others, it is ideal to be separate from others with their own bed and seats (including toilet) separate from others to avoid getting others defiled daily. In the church setting (when physically gathering), they are also to remain outside of the congregation for the duration of their uncleanness: 

Numbers 5:2-3

Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every …every one that hath an issue, ..: 3 Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.

Cleansing Process from an Issue in the Flesh

Leviticus 15:13 

And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.

  • The unclean person must wash their clothes on the seventh day (the clothes worn that seventh day). They must bathe in running water (not still water) to be made clean that seventh day.  [Lev 15:13] The person must fulfill the law for cleansing to be clean again. If they do not fulfill these laws, though they are cleansed from their issue and can no longer defile anything or others, they themselves are still  unclean until they fulfill these laws for cleansing themselves and making an atonement for their sins that caused the uncleanness

Leviticus 15:14-15

And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before Ahayah unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them unto the priest: 15 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before Ahayah for his issue.

  • Both the sin offering and the burnt offering are significations of Christ’s atonement and the true offerings of ourselves as living sacrifices, so intercessions can be made on the 8th day unto the Lord Yache the High Priest for an atonement in thanksgiving. Praises unto Alahayim and doing good in obedience to the commandments going forward can be done for a sin offering and working to make a complete change to serve the will of Alahayim in all things is acceptable for a burnt offering.

Sir 47:2  

As is the fat taken away from the peace offering, so was David chosen out of the children of Israel.

  • The fat of such offerings to turn from sin is pleasing to Alahayim:

Sir 38:9-11

My son, in thy sickness be not negligent: but pray unto the Lord, and he will make thee whole. 10  Leave off from sin, and order thine hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all wickedness. 11  Give a sweet savour, and a memorial of fine flour; and make a fat offering, as not being.

Ecclesiasticus 35:1, 6

He that keepeth the law bringeth offerings enough: he that taketh heed to the commandment offereth a peace offering. 6 The offering of the righteous maketh the altar fat, and the sweet savour thereof is before the most High.

A Summary of the Laws for Uncleanness by an Issue

  1. Every bed laid upon is unclean for the duration of the day he laid upon it.

  2. Every seat sat upon is unclean for the duration of the day he sat upon it.

  4. Anything the unclean person sits upon (i.e. mats, rugs, sheets, clothes) is unclean for the duration of that day he sat upon it. When (even) night comes and a new day begins, the things aforementioned aren’t unclean if he isn’t laying (beds) or sitting (seats, toilets and things) upon them respectively nor does he lay or sit upon them during the new day.

  5. The seat used in a vehicle or saddle upon an animal is unclean (not the vehicle itself or the animal). A rug or mat (covering) on the floor is unclean (not the floor). [Lev 15:9]

  6. Touching the unclean bed and sitting in the unclean seat (toilet included) makes a person unclean until they’ve washed and bathed. (requires washing clothes or bathing before even). [Lev 15:5-6]

  7. Touching the things that were under him with your flesh makes you unclean for the day (requires no washing clothes or bathing before even). [Lev 15:10]

  8. Anything the unclean sits upon  (i.e. mats rugs clothes) is unclean for that day and can make others unclean by touching it with their flesh (it has to be your flesh like hands or feet, not your shoes per se.) yet you don’t have to wash your clothes or bathe just because you touched it with your flesh. [Lev 15:9-10] On the other hand, if you bear (carry or hold) those things that were under them, you’ll have to wash your clothes and bathe before even. [Lev 15:10] When it comes to the toilet seat, if the unclean person sits upon it, it is unclean for that day. [Lev 15:4,9] Touching the unclean toilet during the day it is unclean makes you unclean (without requiring to wash or bathe) [Lev 15:10] but sitting upon the unclean toilet seat requires you to bathe and wash your clothes before even. [Lev 15:6]

  9. Touching the unclean person’s flesh with direct contact [Lev 15:7] or getting their saliva on one’s self will make a person unclean [Lev 15:8] and requires washing clothes and bathing before even in both instances.

  10. The unclean must wash his hands in order to touch someone else without defiling them according to the law. If he doesn’t wash his hands he will make them unclean and they will be required to wash their clothes and bathe before even. [Lev 15:11]

  11. Since the unclean person with an issue can make things unclean and others, it is ideal to be separate from others with their own bed and seats (including toilet) separate from others to avoid getting others defiled daily. In the church setting (when physically gathering), they are also to remain outside of the congregation for the duration of their uncleanness: 

  12. The unclean must wash his hands in order to touch someone else without defiling them according to the law. If he doesn’t wash his hands he will make them unclean and they will be required to wash their clothes and bathe before even. [Lev 15:11] 

  13. Both the sin offering and the burnt offering are significations of Christ’s atonement and the offerings of ourselves as living sacrifices giving praise unto Alahayim and doing good works meet for repentance, so intercessions can be made on the 8th day unto the Lord Yache the High Priest for an atonement in thanksgiving praising Alahayim and taking steps towards growth in good works from the experience.

  14. True offerings are self sacrifice to work righteousness, have compassion and do wrong to no one, praising Alahayim with thanksgiving in all things.

Laws of Uncleanness:
Uncleanness that Chances by Night

 

Attacks on Women in Sleep

  • The women can be attacked by evil spirits in their sleep, so they have to be mindful of good works lest they get attacked:  

Testament of Solomon 60

 60.    And the spirit answered and said: "This is the first time I have stood before the, O King Solomon. I am a spirit made into an alahayim among men, but now brought to naught by the ring and wisdom vouchsafed to thee by Alahayim. Now I am the so-called winged dragon, and I chamber not with many women, but only with a few that are of fair shape, which possess the name of xuli, of this star. And I pair with them in the guise of a spirit winged in form, copulating with them through their buttocks. And she on whom I have leapt goes heavy with child, and that which is born of her becomes eros. But since such offspring cannot be carried by men, the woman in question breaks wind. Such is my role.

Acts of Thomas 42-46 

42.......But a very beautiful woman suddenly uttered an exceeding loud cry, saying: O Apostle of the new Alahayim that has come into India, and servant of that holy and only good Alahayim; through you is he preached, the Saviour of the souls that come to him, and through you people that are tormented by the enemy are healed, and you are the one that is an instrument for to life to all that turn to Him: Command me to be brought before you that I may share with you that which had befallen me, and through you that I may have hope and allow those around you to become more confident in the Alahayim of whom you preach. For I have been tormented by the enemy for as long as 5 years. [And the apostle commanded her to come him, and the woman stood before him and said: I, O servant of Him that is indeed Alahayim, I am only a woman] I used to sit at first in quiet and peace encompassed me on every side so that I had no care for anything, for I took no thought for anybody.  43 And it happened one day that as I came out from the bath there I met a man who was troubled and disturbed, and his voice and speech seemed to me exceedingly faint and dim; and then he stood before me and said: We’ll be in one love and we will have sex together as husband and wife; And I answered and said to him: I have never had to do this even with my fiancé, so I refused to marry you, and how shall I live with myself, knowing that I would have had sex in an adulterous way? And having said that, I walked on, and I said to my handmaid that was with me: Did you see that youth and his shamelessness, how boldly he spoke to me, and he had no shame? Then she said to me: I saw an old man speaking to you. When I was in my house and had eaten, my soul became suspicious, especially because this man was seen by me in two different forms; and remembering this in my mind I fell asleep. He came that night and raped me in unclean ways of sex. And when it was morning I saw him again and ran away from him, and on the following night he came back and abused me more; and now as you see me, I have spent the last 5 years being troubled by him, for he had not departed from me. But I know and believe that both devils, spirits and destroyers are subject to you and are scared because of your prayers: please pray for me and drive away the devil that troubles me, so that I may be free and be gathered to my destiny that is mine from the beginning, and to receive the grace that had been given to my family.  

 

  • As you can see, the evil spirit had place in her and was enticing her, hence the comment "how shall I live with myself knowing that I would have had sex in an adulterous way?" Because she was considering the thought, showing that the evil spirit was coming to her because he could see his spirit in her. As we continue, we get to witness the woman even thinking about the stranger until she goes to sleep not casting the thoughts from her mind and giving place unto evil.

​

44    And the apostle said: O evil that can’t be restrained! O shamelessness of the enemy! O jealous one that are never at rest! O repulsive one that controls the comely! O you of many forms! As he will he appears, but his true nature cannot change. O the crafty and faithless one! O the bitter tree whose fruits are like his! O the devil that overcomes them that are alien to Him! O the deceit that uses disrespect! O the wickedness that creeps like a serpent, and that is of his kind! And when the apostle said this, the malicious one came and stood before him, no man saw him except the woman and the apostle, and with an exceeding loud voice said in the assembly of all: 45 What have we to do with you, you apostle of the Most High! What have we to do with you, you servant of Yache Christ? What have we to do with you, you counselor of the holy Son of Alahayim? Why do you want to destroy us, when our time has not come yet? Why do you want to take away our power? For up to now we have had hope and time on our side. What have we to do with you? You have power over your own, and we have over ours. Why then do you act tyrannously against us, when you, yourself teaches others not to act tyrannously? Why do you interfere in other men's goods and not suffice yourself with thine own? Why then are you made into the image of the Son of Alahayim, which had done us wrong? For you resemble Him altogether as if you wert born of Him. For we thought to have brought Him under the yoke like we have done to the rest, but He turned and made us subject to Him: for we knew Him not; but He deceived us with his form of all uncomeliness, his poverty and neediness: for seeing Him to be such, we thought that He was  deceiving us with his form of all uncomeliness, his poverty and neediness: for seeing Him to be such, we thought that He was a man wearing flesh, and knew not that it is He that given life to men. And He gave us power over our own, that we should not in this present time leave them but make our home with them: but you were given more than your share, for that which were given to you, can cause trouble to us altogether.

   

  • The devils have power over their own, and can inhabit those who have their spirit in them, to make a home with them. This means these attacks women experience in their sleep are strongholds from the evil spirits that have place in them:

​

46    And having said this the devil wept, saying: I leave you, my fairest spouse, whom for such a long time have  found my rest in you; I will now forsake you, my sure sister, my beloved in whom I was well pleased. What shall I do, I don’t know, or to whom shall I call that he may hear me and help me. I know what to do: I will depart to some place where this report of this man had not been heard and in my adventure I shall call another, my beloved by a different name. And he lifted up his voice and said: Abide in peace for you have taken refuge  with one greater than I, but I will leave and seek for one like you, and if I  don’t find her, I will return to you again: for I know that while you are near to this man you have a refuge in him,  but when he departs you will be  the same as you were before he appeared, and you’ll forget him and then I shall have opportunity and confidence: but now I fear the name of Him that had saved you. And having said this the devil vanished out of sight: after he departed fire and smoke could be seen there: and all that stood there were amazed.  

​

  • It was the prayers of the righteous unto Yache, the name of the one greater than the devil, that delivered the sister by her faith, so sisters can be delivered from such demonic attacks in this fashion and keep these demons away by abiding in the faith and not forgetting the Lord Yache and his commandments and keeping them wholeheartedly, lest the devil gain another opportunity to come back and dwell with them.

​

Attacks on Men in Sleep 

  • The demon Ornias causes the attack that chanceth men by night to make them unclean.

Testament of Solomon 9-10

9. And when Solomon heard this, he rose up from his throne, and went outside into the vestibule of the

court of his palace; and there he saw the demon, shuddering and trembling. And he said to him: "Who art

thou?" And the demon answered: "I am called Ornias." 10. And Solomon said to him: "Tell me, O demon, to what zodiacal sign thou art subject." And he answered: "To the Water-pourer. And those who are consumed with desire for the noble virgins upon earth [...], these I strangle. But in case there is no disposition to sleep, I am changed into three forms. Whenever men come to be enamoured of women, I metamorphose myself into a comely female; and I take hold of the men in their sleep, and play with them. And after a while I again take to my wings, and hide me to the heavenly regions. ...."

  • Night attacks lets us know when we have some growing to do if the evil spirits have consent to attack us because we have done something amiss in the sight of Alahayim. Let's look at what is to be done when the attack comes upon a man. 

Deu 23:9  

When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing. 10 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, H7137 then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp: 

Definition:

H7137
קרה
BDB Definition:
1) chance, accident
1a) of nocturnal pollution requiring temporary exodus from camp

 

  • When men commit evil, Ornias the demon plays with them in their sleep to cause their seed go from them and become unclean. This attack is known as "wet dreams" today.

Lev 15:17 

And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. 

  •  Any clothing or skin that the seed of copulation touches is unclean and must be washed in water before even so that it will be clean when night comes.

Deu 23:11  

But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.

  • Then during evening time, the man must bathe himself to be clean before night comes and when night comes because the sun is completely down, he shall be clean. 

​

Cures for Men and Women

  • If we do good, no evil shall touch us and those demons and devils won't have consent to attack men or women in their sleep. 

Tob 12:7 

....... Do that which is good, and no evil shall touch you. 

Ecc 8:5 

Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: 

​

  • Obedience to the Faith of Yache will deliver us from the uncleanness that chanceth by night in one's sleep. Also, as the woman sought prayer by the Apostle to be free from that devil, prayer with fasting in righteousness is essential for deliverance from these evil spirits:

Jas 5:16  

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

  • Some strongholds require more work in fasts of righteousness to do no evil and prayer:

Mar 9:28-29  

And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? 29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
 

  •  If anyone is struggling with such spirits in their sleep, feel free to contact us and seek the help needed to be delivered from these evil spirits.

​

Laws of Uncleanness:
Seed of Copulation

  • It is unlawful to have the pleasure of intercourse on sabbaths and holy days.

Jubilees 50:7-8

7. Six days wilt thou labour, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath of Ahayah your Alahayim. In it ye shall do no manner of work, ye and your sons, and your men-servants and your maid-servants, and all your cattle and the sojourner also who is with you. 8. And the man that doeth any work on it shall die: whoever desecrateth that day, whoever lieth with (his) wife or whoever saith he will do something on it, that he will set out on a journey thereon in regard to any buying or selling: and whoever draweth water thereon which he had not prepared for himself on the sixth day, and whoever taketh up any burden to carry it out of his tent or out of his house shall die

​Isaiah 58:13

If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of Ahayah, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in Ahayah; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Ahayah hath spoken it.

  • Aside from on the Sabbath and Feast days, let's get edification on what is righteous in the privacy of the marriage bed:

Heb 13:4  

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers Alahayim will judge.

​

  • According to scripture, the marriage bed is undefiled, so what ever extra marital pleasures a husband and his wife have in the privacy of their bed chamber is undefiled, so long as the following laws and admonitions referred to in the lesson at the bottom of this section are kept:

Rules of the Marriage Bed​

  1. He does not lay with his wife on the Sabbath or Feast days. [Jubilees 50:7-8]

  2. He doesn't lay with his wife during her time of separation for her uncleanness (menstrual). [Lev 20:18]

  3. Avoids "filthy intercourse." reference the lesson below for edification: "The Purpose Driven Mindset Pt. II" 

  4. Avoids "trespassing against Alahayim's command to be fruitful and multiply." Reference the lesson below for edification: "The Purpose Driven Mindset Pt. II" 

  5. He doesn't lay with her during anytime they both have agreed to separate themselves for a time to be given to prayer, [I Cor 7:5] 

  6. In cases of multiple wives, Jacob, is an example of righteousness in that he only slept with one wife in a day. [Testament of Issachar 1, Gen 3o:14-16] In uprightness, a man does not sleep with more than one wife in a day. It would be unrighteous to sleep with multiple wives in a day because he was made unclean from laying with the first wife. [Lev 15:16-18] In scripture, only the unrighteous lay with multiple women in the same day as was the case with Absolom.[ 2 Sam 16:21-22]

​​

  • There is more edification on whats righteous in regards to intercourse, contraceptives, child birth, and abortions. please visit the lesson, "The Purpose Driven Mindset Pt. II" for that edification:

https://youtu.be/erMxi60CZ_E?si=J-UD6nZkRGM4c_ag

​

  • In conclusion, aside from the things afore mentioned here on this tab and in the lesson referenced above, a man and his wife may do as they desire with each other in their marriage bed. 

​

The Laws for cleansing after copulation: 

Lev 15:16 

And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. 

  • He is not unclean if his seed isn't spilled according to the law, yet if he spills his seed with his wife:

Lev 15:18 

The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.

  • The man and his wife bathe themselves in water if the man spills his seed and they'll be clean when night comes:

Lev 15:17 

And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. 

  •  Any clothing or skin that the seed of copulation touches is unclean and must be washed in water before even so that it will be clean when night comes. The husband and wife are unclean until night comes after washing, but they cannot defile anyone else by touching them physically. The seed of copulation itself cannot make others unclean; only the man it came from, the woman he slept with, and any garment or animal hide the seed touched. A garment or person unclean by seed of copulation cannot make anyone else unclean. The man and his wife made unclean by copulation are not required to go without the camp, but no unclean person can enter the Tabernacle. [Lev 15:31] Also, the unclean persons cannot eat of the sacrifice of peace offerings [Lev 7:20-21] but they can eat of the food prepared at home on common and feast days. [Deut 12:20-23] 

​

 

Laws of Uncleanness:
Burial Customs

  • The laws and proper burial rites have been established since the 930th year from the creation of the world when Adam died.

The Lives of Adam and Eve chapter 30

After Adam was nine hundred and thirty years old, since he knew that his days were coming to an end, he said: "Let all my sons assemble themselves to me, that I may bless them before I die, and speak with them." And they were assembled in three parts, before his sight, in the house of prayer, where they used to worship the Lord Alahayim. And they asked him, saying: "What concerns thee, father, that thou shouldst assemble us, and why dost thou lie on thy bed?" Then Adam answered and said: "My sons, I am sick and in pain." And all his sons said to him: "What does it mean, father, this illness and pain?" 31 Then said Seth, his son: "O my lord, perchance thou hast longed after the fruit of paradise, which thou wast wont to eat, and therefore thou liest in sadness? Tell me and I will go to the nearest gates of paradise and put dust on my head and throw myself down on the earth before the gates of paradise and lament and make entreaty to Alahayim with loud lamentation; perchance he will hearken to me and send his angel to bring me the fruit, for which thou hast longed." Adam answered and said: "No, my son, I do not long for this, but I feel weakness and great pain in my body." Seth answered, "What is pain, my lord father? I am ignorant; but hide it not from us, but tell us about it."32 And Adam answered and said: "Hear me, my sons. When Alahayim made us, me and your mother, and placed us in paradise and gave us every tree bearing fruit to eat, he laid a prohibition on us concerning the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which is in the midst of paradise; saying, 'Do not eat of it.' But Alahayim gave a part of paradise to me and a part to your mother: the trees of the eastern part and north, which is over against Aquilo, he gave to me, and to your mother he gave the part of the south and the western part. 33 Moreover Alahayim the Lord gave us two angels to guard us. The hour came when the angels had ascended to worship in the sight of Alahayim; forthwith the adversary (the devil) found an opportunity while the angels were absent and the devil led your mother astray to eat of the unlawful and forbidden tree. And she did eat and gave to me. 34 And immediately, the Lord Alahayim was wroth with us, and the Lord said to me: "In that thou hast left behind my commandment and hast not kept my word, which I confirmed to thee; behold, I will bring upon thy body seventy blows; with divers griefs shalt thou be tormented, beginning at thy head and thine eyes and thine ears down to thy nails on thy toes, and in every separate limb." These hath Alahayim appointed for chastisement. All these things hath the Lord sent to me and to all our race. 35 Thus spake Adam to his sons, and he was seized with violent pains, and he cried out with a loud voice, "What shall I do? I am in distress. So cruel are the pains with which I am beset." And when Eve had seen him weeping, she also began to weep herself, and said: "O Lord my Alahayim, hand over to me his pain, for it is I who sinned." And Eve said to Adam: "My lord, give me a part of thy pains, for this hath come to thee from fault of mine." 36 And Adam said to Eve: "Rise up and go with my son Seth to the neighborhood of paradise, and put dust on your heads and throw yourselves on the ground and lament in the sight of Alahayim. Perchance He will have pity upon you and send His angel across to the tree of His mercy, whence floweth the oil of life, and will give you a drop of it, to anoint me with it, that I may have rest from these pains, by which I am being consumed."

​

CHAPTER 40

But Seth and his mother walked to the regions of paradise for the oil of mercy to anoint the sick Adam: and they arrived at the gates of paradise, and they took dust from the earth and placed it on their heads, and bowed themselves with their faces to the earth, and began to lament and make loud moaning, imploring the Lord Alahayim to pity Adam in his pains and to send His angel to give them the oil from the tree of His mercy. 41

But when they had been praying and imploring for many hours, behold, the angel Michael appeared to them and said: "I have been sent to you from the Lord — I am set by Alahayim over the bodies of men — I tell thee, Seth, thou man of Alahayim, weep not nor pray and entreat on account of the oil of the tree of mercy to anoint thy father Adam for the pains of his body. 42 "For I tell thee that in no wise wilt thou be able to receive thereof save in the last days." When five thousand seventy years have been fulfilled, then will come upon earth the most beloved king Christ, the son of Alahayim, to revive the body of Adam and with him to revive the bodies of the dead. He Himself, the Son of Alahayim, when He comes will be baptized in the river of Jordan, and when He hath come out of the water of Jordan, then He will anoint from the oil of mercy all that believe in Him. And the oil of mercy shall be for generation to generation for those who are ready to be born again of water and the Holy Spirit to life eternal. Then the most beloved Son of Alahayim, Christ, descending on earth, shall lead thy father Adam to Paradise to the tree of mercy. 43 "But do thou, Seth, go to thy father Adam, since the time of his life is fulfilled. Six days hence his soul shall go off his body, and when it shall have gone out thou shalt see great marvels in the heaven and in the earth and the luminaries of heaven." With these words, straightway Michael departed from Seth. And Eve and Seth returned bearing with them herbs of fragrance, i.e., nard and crocus and calamus and cinnamon.

​

  • (It is customary to anoint dead in fragrances.)

CHAPTER 45

And just as Michael the archangel had foretold, after six days came Adam's death. When Adam perceived that the hour of his death was at hand, he said to all his sons: "Behold, I am nine hundred and thirty years old, and if I die, bury me toward the sunrising in the field of yonder dwelling." And it came to pass that when he had finished all his discourse, he gave up the spirit. 46 Then was the sun darkened and the moon and the stars for seven days, and Seth in his mourning embraced from above the body of his father, and Eve was looking on the ground with hands folded over her head, and all her children wept most bitterly. And behold, there appeared Michael the angel and stood at the head of Adam, and said to Seth: "Rise up from the body of thy father and come to me and see what is the doom of the Lord Alahayim concerning him. His creature is he, and Alahayim hath pitied him." 47 And all the angels blew their trumpets, and cried: "Blessed art thou, O Lord, for thou hast had pity on Thy creature." 48 Then Seth saw the hand of Alahayim stretched out holding Adam, and he handed him over to Michael, saying: "Let him be in thy charge till the day of Judgment in punishment, till the last years when I will convert his sorrow into joy. Then shall he sit on the throne of him who hath been his supplanter." And the Lord said again to the angels Michael and Uriel: "Bring me three linen clothes of byssus, and spread them out over Adam, and other linen clothes over Abel his son, and bury Adam and Abel his son." And all the powers of angels marched before Adam, and the sleep of the dead was consecrated. And the angels Michael and Uriel buried Adam and Abel in the parts of paradise, before the eyes of Seth and no one else, and Michael and Uriel said: "Just as ye have seen, in like manner, bury your dead."

​

  • (Here we have the institution of how to dress and bury the dead.)

CHAPTER 49

Six days after, Adam died; and Eve perceived that she would die, so she assembled all her sons and daughters, Seth with thirty brothers and thirty sisters, and Eve said to all: "Hear me, my children, and I will tell you what the archangel Michael said to us when I and your father transgressed the command of Alahayim. "On account of your transgression, our the Lord will bring upon your race the anger of his judgment, first by water, the second time by fire; by these two, will the Lord judge the whole human race. 50 "But hearken unto me, my children. Make ye then tables of stone and others of clay, and write on them all my life and your father's, all that ye have heard and seen from us. If by water the Lord judge our race, the tables of clay will be dissolved and the tables of stone will remain; but if by fire, the tables of stone will be broken up and the tables of clay will be baked hard." When Eve had said all this to her children, she spread out her hands to heaven in prayer, and bent her knees to the earth, and while she worshiped the Lord and gave him thanks, she gave up the spirit. Thereafter, all her children buried her with loud lamentation. 51 When they had been mourning four days, then Michael the archangel appeared and said to Seth: "Man of Alahayim, mourn not for thy dead more than six days, for on the seventh day is the sign of resurrection and the rest of the age to come; on the seventh day the Lord rested from all His works.” Thereupon Seth made the tables.

​

  • (Here we get the understanding of why we are not to mourn on the Sabbath day.)​

The Rest of the account of Adam's Death

Apocalypse of Moses chapter 41

Then Alahayim spake to the archangels Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael: "Go away to paradise in the third heaven, and strew linen clothes, and cover the body of Adam, and bring oil of the 'oil of fragrance' and pour it over him." And they acted thus, did the three great angels, and they prepared him for burial. And Alahayim said: "Let the body of Abel also be brought." And they brought other linen clothes and prepared his body also. For he was unburied since the day when Cain his brother slew him; for wicked Cain took great pains to conceal him, but could not, for the earth would not receive him, for the body sprang up from the earth, and a voice went out of the earth, saying: "I will not receive a companion body till the earth which was taken and fashioned in me cometh to me." At that time the angels took it and placed it on a rock till Adam his father was buried. And both were buried, according to the commandment of Alahayim, in the spot where Alahayim found the dust, and He caused the place to be dug for two. And Alahayim sent seven angels to paradise and they brought many fragrant spices and placed them in the earth, and they took the two bodies placed them in the spot which they had digged and builded. 42 And Alahayim called and said, "Adam, Adam." And the body answered from the earth and said: "Here am I, Lord." And Alahayim saith to him: "I told thee that earth thou art and to earth shalt thou return. Again I promise to thee the Resurrection; I will raise thee up in the Resurrection with every man, who is of thy seed."

The Death of Eve

Apocalypse of Moses chapter 43  

After these words, Alahayim made a seal and sealed the tomb, that no one might do anything to him for six days till his rib should return to him. Then the Lord and his angels went to their place. And Eve also, when the six days were fulfilled, fell asleep. But while she was living, she wept bitterly about Adam's falling on sleep, for she knew not where he was laid. For when the Lord came to paradise to bury Adam she was asleep, and her sons too, except Seth, till He bade Adam be prepared for burial; and no man knew on earth, except her son Seth. And Eve prayed (in the hour of her death) that she might be buried in the place where her husband Adam was. And after she had finished her prayer, she saith: " Lord, Lord, Alahayim of all rule, estrange not me thy handmaid from the body of Adam, for from his members didst thou make me. But deem me worthy, even me unworthy that I am and a sinner, to enter into his tabernacle, even as I was with him in paradise, both without separation from each other; just as in our transgressions we were both led astray and transgressed thy command, but were not separated. Even so, Lord, do not separate us now." But after she had prayed she gazed heavenward and groaned aloud and smote her breast and said: "Alahayim of All, receive my spirit," and straightway she delivered up her spirit to Alahayim. 44 And Michael came and taught Seth how to prepare Eve for burial. And there came three angels and they buried her body where Adam's body was and Abel's. And thereafter Michael spake to Seth and saith: "Lay out in this wise every man that dieth till the day of Resurrection." And after giving him this rule; he saith to him: "Mourn not beyond six days, but on the seventh day rest and rejoice on it, because on that very day Alahayim rejoiceth, yea, and we angels too with the righteous soul, who hath passed away from the earth." ...

​

  • By grace of the Son of Alahayim, not only do the righteous souls rejoice with Alahayim and his angels, even the sinners who have died and are in punishments, have a night and day of refreshment on the seventh (Sabbath) day as well from the time of Paul unto this day.

Apocalypse of Paul 45

…And after these things I saw the Son of Alahayim descending from heaven, and a diadem was on his head. And seeing him those who were placed in punishment exclaimed all with one voice saying: Have pity, Son of the High Alahayim! Thou art He who shewest refreshment for all in the heavens and on earth, and on us likewise have pity, for since we have seen Thee, we have refreshment. And a voice went out from the Son of Alahayim through all the punishments saying: And what work have ye done that ye demand refreshment from me? My blood was poured out for your sakes, and not even so did ye repent: for your sakes I wore the crown of thorns on my head: for you I received buffets on my cheeks, and not even so did ye repent. I asked water when hanging on the cross and they gave me vinegar mixed with gall, with a spear they opened my right side, for my name's sake they slew my prophets and just men, and in all these things I gave you a place of repentance and ye would not. Now, however, for the sake of Michael the archangel of my covenant and the angels who are with him, and because of Paul the well-beloved, whom I would not vex, for the sake of your brethren who are in the world and offer oblations, and for the sake of your sons, because my precepts are in them, and more for the sake of mine own kindness, on the day on which I rose from the dead, I give to you all who are in punishment a night and a day of refreshment forever. 

  • He gave all in punishments the whole sabbath day, from the night it comes in Friday night and during the day on Saturday, for a day of refreshment forever:

And they all cried out and said, We bless thee, Son of Alahayim, that Thou hast given us a night and a day of respite.

The Burial Customs:

  1. Take linen clothes and cover the dead when discovered for respect of the dead

  2. Anoint the dead with oils of fragrances like nard, crocus, calamus, and cinnamon before burial.

  3. Bury the dead in the earth. 

  4. Mourn six days, but not on the seventh (Sabbath) as it is a day of rejoicing wherein Alahayim, his angels and the righteous souls rejoice while the sinners have a day of refreshment from their punishments.

​

Admonitions by Sirach concerning the dead:

Sir 22:12 

Seven days doe men mourn for him that is dead; ...

Sir 38:16 

My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to lament, as if thou hadst suffered great harm thy self: and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his burial.

​

  • (The custom is to cover his body with linen garments, anoint him with with oils of fragrances and bury him in the ground.)

Sir 38:17 

Weep bitterly, and make great moan, and use lamentation, as he is worthy, and that a day or two, lest thou be evil spoken of: and then comfort thy self for thy heaviness.

​

  • As it was commanded not to mourn beyond six days, it is wise to comfort ourselves for the dead after a day or two lest that heaviness be to our detriment:

Sir 38:18-19  

For of heaviness commeth death, and the heaviness of the heart, breaketh strength. 19 In affliction also sorrow remaineth: and the life of the poor, is the curse of the heart.

Sir 30:23  

Love thine own soul, and comfort thy heart, remove sorrow far from thee: for sorrow hath killed many, and there is no profit therein.

​

  • The grief of sorrow over the dead can kill a person through depression.

Sir 38:20-21  

Take no heaviness to heart: drive it away, and remember the last end. 21 Forget it not, for there is no turning again: thou shalt not do him good, but hurt thy self.

​

  • The person that died won't receive any good from our continuance of mourning in sorrow of heart as we will only hurt ourselves by remaining in sorrow.

Sir 38:22 

Remember my judgement: for thine also shall be so; yesterday for me, and today for thee. 23 When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest, and be comforted for him, when his spirit is departed from him.

  • We are to let the remembrance of the dead rest and be comforted for him as oppose to trying to keep his remembrance alive with ceremonies and dedications in honor of him after his burial.

​

Edification on Cremation

  • Burning people alive is done for acts of wickedness and fornication:

Lev 20:14  

And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

Jubilees 20:4

And if any woman or maid commit fornication amongst you, burn her with fire, and let them not commit fornication with her after their eyes and their heart.... 

​

  • Cremating the dead on the other hand, is transgression according to Ahayah:

Amos 2:1

1  Thus saith Ahayah; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

​

  • From the testimonies, cremating a body wasn't the ordinance given for burial of the dead.

 

Examples of the Burial Customs performed:

  1. Abraham burying Sarah, his wife.

Jasher 24:15-16

And the days of Sarah were one hundred and twenty seven years and she died, and Abraham made a great and heavy mourning, and he performed the rites of  mourning for seven days. 16. And all the inhabitants of the land comforted Abraham and Isaac his son on account of Sarah. 

​

  1. Joseph burying Jacob, his father.

​

Gen 50:2  

And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm H2590 his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.

​

  • The embalming of the ancient times was simply anointing the bodies with fragrances, while Kings had their bowels cut open along with fragrances and costly array:

Testament of Judah 26:3 .

Let no one bury me in costly apparel, nor tear open my bowels, for this shall they who are kings do...

​

  •  Jacob was buried after the manner of kings:  

Gen 50:2  

And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. 3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days. 

Gen 50:8-9  

And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen. 9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company. 

Jasher 56:66-68

66. And Jacob was buried in Hebron, in the cave of Machpelah, which Abraham had bought from the sons of Heth for the possession of a burial place, and he was buried in very costly garments. 67. No king had such honor paid unto him as Joseph paid unto his father at his death, for he buried him with great honor in the manner of the burial of kings. 68. And Joseph and his brethren made a mourning of seven days for their father.

  • The sons of Jacob mourned according to the custom ordained by Alahayim.

Gen 50:11 

And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan. â€‹

​

Laws of Uncleanness:

the Defilements by the Dead

​

Ways to get defiled by the dead: 

Num 19:11, 16, 14-15  

He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days. 16 And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. 14 This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days. 15 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean. 

  • Also, touching that open vessel that was made unclean because of a dead body in the tent can make a person unclean (though they aren't actually unclean by the dead so they aren't required to be put out of the camp and they can't defile anything else). is this correct Zack?​

​​

The defiled by the dead must be put out of the Camp:

Num 5:2-3  

Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:...3  Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell. 

​

  •  An example of the law being fulfilled in scripture:

Num 31:19-20 

And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day. 20 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood. 

​

​

​

​​

Why are the Unclean by the Dead Separated? 

  • The unclean by the dead are separated from others because they can defile things they touch and cause others to be unclean until even (though no washing is required for them to be made clean again) when they touch the things that were made unclean. 

Numbers 5:2-3

Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp … whosoever is defiled by the dead: 3 Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.

  • The defilement they would cause is by touching stuff to make it unclean according to the law: 

Num 19:22  

And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even. 

  • An example of this fact is that if the unclean by the dead touched bread, portage, wine, oil, or meat, it is unclean: 

Hag 2:12-13

If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No. 13  Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.

  • The “any of these” being referred to in verse 13 is referring to the “bread, portage, wine, oil, or meat” to help understand a person unclean by the dead can defile anything they touch with their flesh. One has to be mindful of getting defiled until even when dealing in matters of the dead like funerals, viewings, and burials wherein the attendees in the building or grave site who are made unclean by the dead can defile whatever they touch after such events. They cannot defile anyone else themselves but they can get others defiled when the clean person touches what the unclean has touched. 

​

Does Killing Someone Require Cleansing?

  • If you touched any person killed in a fight (war) or killed someone yourself, purification is necessary 

Numbers 31:19 

And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.

Laws for War

  • These laws pertain to war only as Eleazar spoke about substances that could withstand fire or water for purification from idols and how to cleanse the captives of war and one's self after war:

Numbers 31:21-23

And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which Ahayah commanded Moses; 22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, 23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.

  • This must be done with substances that withstand fire for purification from idols. As for the things that cannot withstand fire, they must go through the water:

Numbers 31:20 

And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.

  • The laws for the persons who were in the war are as follows:

Numbers 31:19 

And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day. 24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.

  • This must be done after war as the captives usually become bondmen or bondwomen, bondmen usually were fighting in the war against Israel and have slain or been around dead bodies so they would need to be cleansed according to the law to be apart of the camp or someone’s house.  Also other captives have to be cleansed from their idols they served to come under a house or camp of the Israelites. Remember, during the seven days of uncleanness, they can defile things so they must abide without the camp:

Numbers 19:22 

And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.

  • So anything touched is unclean like Haggai shows

Haggai 2:12-13

… bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat…13 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.

​

How to be Purified under “the Law”

{The Water of Separation}

  • In the law, the ashes of a heifer was prepared by the priest and a clean person who kills the heifer in the priest’s sight:

Numbers 19:2-3 

This is the ordinance of the law which Ahayah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke: 3 And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:​

  • The priest sprinkles the blood of that heifer before the tabernacle:

Numbers 19:4 

And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:​

  • A person then burns that same heifer outside of the camp in the sight of the priest and the priest adds cedar wood, hyssop and scarlet to the burning:

Numbers 19:5-6 

And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn: 6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.​

  • After these ordinances are performed, the priest and the person that burned the heifer perform washings to be clean at even:

Numbers 19:7-8 

Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even. 8 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.​

  • After the priest and that man go bathe and wash their clothes, another man that is clean comes to get the ashes of the heifer

Numbers 19:9 

And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.​

  • Thus, the ashes for the water of separation are retained in a clean place for anyone who will need the ashes to make “a water of separation” when needed for purification for sin. At this point, a priest is not required to make the water of separation because one just has to mingle the ashes and running water in a vessel to make the water of separation. This can be done by any clean person:

Numbers 19:17 

And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:​

  • Once the vessel ofrunning water and ashes are mingled, “the water of separation” is prepared. A clean person does the following to purify the unclean:

Numbers 19:18 

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:​

  • The clean person who does the sprinkling with hyssop and the person who was made unclean by preparing the water of separation have perpetual statutes that pertain to them after they have performed their duties: 

Numbers 19:21 

And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even. 22 And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.​

  • Thus, after performing their duties to purify the unclean by the dead with the water of separation, the clean person who sprinkled shall wash his clothes. On the other hand, the unclean person who made the water of separation shall just be unclean until the even and whatever he touches while unclean shall be unclean but he does not have to do any washings himself. Now continuing in the law, let’s see what the clean person who’s duty it was to sprinkle with hyssop would do unto the unclean by the dead: 

Numbers 19:19 

And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day:….

  • The person unclean by the dead must purify with the water of separation on the 3rd and 7th day in order to be clean. 

Numbers 19:12

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. â€‹

  • After the sprinkling of the water of separation, a man must do the following on the 7th day for purification to be clean. 

Numbers 19:19… and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even. 20 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 Ahayah: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.

  • This was the process of purification from the dead under the Law. Under Christ's Priesthood, the laws of  purification have changed:

Hebrews 7:12

For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

The True "Water of Separation" under Grace

[for Purification on the Third and Seventh Day]

Numbers 19:14, 16, 11 

This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days. 16 And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. 11  He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.

  • Being unclean by reason of the dead in the different scenarios, required to be sprinkled with the water of separation according to the law of Moses:

Numbers 19:18-19, 12 

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: 19 And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even. 12 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.

  • There is a change in the purification process under the priesthood of Christ as opposed to the Levitical priesthood of Aaron in the law of Moses. 

Heb 9:13  

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

  • Under the law, the water of sanctification was for purifying the flesh, yet under Christ, the purifications have changed:

Heb 9:14  

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to Alahayim, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living Alahayim?

  • The true purging of the water of separation was about purging the conscience (in the heart) through the blood of Christ, according to the teaching of the disciples of Christ . Barnabas explains that the water of separation process was really about purging our hearts;

Barn 8:1-3 

But what think ye meaneth the type, where the commandment is given to Israel that those men, whose sins are full grown, offer an heifer and slaughter and burn it, and then that the children take up the ashes, and cast them into vessels, and twist the scarlet wool on a tree (see here again is the type of the cross and the scarlet wool), and the hyssop, and that this done the children should sprinkle the people one by one, that they may be purified from their sins? 2 Understand ye how in all plainness it is spoken unto you; the calf is Yache, the men that offer it, being sinners, are they that offered Him for the slaughter. After this it is no more men (who offer); the glory is no more for sinners. 3 The children who sprinkle are they that preached unto us the forgiveness of sins and the purification of our heart, they to whom, being twelve in number for a testimony unto the tribes (for there are twelve tribes of Israel), He gave authority over the Gospel, that they should preach it.

  • The sprinkling of the water of separation is truly the preaching of the gospel for the cleansing of our hearts. To purify ourselves, the focusing on purging one’s heart is being truthful with one’s self to purge double mindedness in lust, and do the work to change with our own hands to obey the truth of the Gospel and love others hoping in the salvation of Alahayim (Christ) and doing the work to overcome the world 

Hermas Vision 3

2[10]:2 Thou indeed art very desirous to sit on the right with them, but thy shortcomings are many; yet thou shalt be purified from thy shortcomings; yea, and all that are not double-minded shall be purified from all their sins unto this day."

Hermas Mandate 12 [6:3-5]

3 Hear me therefore, and fear Him, Who is able to do all things, to save and to destroy, and observe these commandments, and ye shall live unto Alahayim." 4 I say to him, "Sir, now am I strengthened in all the ordinances of the Lord, because thou art with me; and I know that thou wilt crush all the power of the devil, and we shall be masters over him, and shall prevail over all his works. And I hope, Sir, that I am now able to keep these commandments which thou hast commanded, the Lord enabling me." 5 "Thou shalt keep them," saith he, "if thy heart be found pure with the Lord; yea, and all shall keep them, as many as shall purify their hearts from the vain desires of this world, and shall live unto Alahayim.

  • This here shows its about purifying the heart through the truth of the Gospel, contentment (no lust) and love, doing good works to overcome the desires of the world in the pride of life, lust of the eyes and flesh so that we shall live unto Alahayim through Christ doing the work in us, his angel helping us be attentive in all temptations not to fall into any sin.

Acts of Peter 18

Let us therefore bow our knees unto Christ, which heareth us, though we cry not; it is he that seeth us, though he be not seen with these eyes, yet is he in us: if we will, he will not forsake us. Let us therefore purify our souls of every evil temptation, and Alahayim will not depart from us. Yea, if we but wink with our eyes, he is present with us.

  • With this understanding, the 3rd and 7th day are days of reflection to seek truth in one’s heart sprinkling with the Gospel, praying for understanding and awareness of secret faults, washing oneself with the water of the word for sanctification in self examination, reading the scriptures to apply them to find solutions to overcome one’s own sins for the purifying of the heart:

 Psa 51:6-7  

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7  Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Ephesians 5:26 

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

  • It’s for any nation to go thru the process by faith to be purified

Act 15:9  

And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 

  • Alahayim sent Christ to purify all his children’s hearts unto good works 

Tit 2:11-14  

For the grace of Alahayim that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12  Teaching us that, denying impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and piously, in this present world; 13  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great Alahayim and our Saviour Yache Christ; 14  Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

1Jn 3:2-3

Beloved, now are we the sons of Alahayim, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

  • So in general, we are supposed to purify our hearts hoping on the promises of Alahayim to be immortal and not die eternally, yet when we are in the seven day process of uncleanness for the dead it’s a time of mourning and reflection to purify our hearts by speaking truth within ourselves, studying the Gospel of Christ for sanctification, and finding solutions to purify our hearts from the lusts that make us double minded and our evil works of our hands to do good only; taking in the reality that death can happen to all of us as the covenant is “thou shalt die the death.”

Jas 4:8  

Draw nigh to Alahayim, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

  • We are supposed to come out of the mourning process of seven days pressing forward in obeying the truth of the Gospel (after having spent the 3rd and 7th day reasoning and purifying our hearts) unto unfeigned love with a pure heart (grasping the reality that it’s a blessing to still be alive and have the opportunity we have)

1Pe 1:22  

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

  • The seven day mourning process supports this understanding for confirmation of these things: 

Ecclesiasticus 22:12 

Seven days do men mourn for him that is dead;

  • Remember the sabbath day, is not a day of mourning as it is the day of resurrection and a day of respite for the dead in torments. 

Ecclesiasticus 38:16-17

My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to lament, as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his burial. 17 Weep bitterly, and make great moan, and use lamentation, as he is worthy, and that a day or two, lest thou be evil spoken of: and then comfort thyself for thy heaviness.

  • The third day is a day to start comforting ourselves and a day of purification with the true water of separation (the word of the Gospel) to self examine and purge our heart so that when we start putting away the sorrow remembering we can die too, we also purify our hearts and do good works that we may live. The sorrow can be a distraction from focusing on the reality that we are still alive and have an opportunity to change so we are suppose to drive it from us (after the second day at least) and focus:

Ecclesiasticus 38:18-20

For of heaviness cometh death, and the heaviness of the heart breaketh strength. 19 In affliction also sorrow remaineth: and the life of the poor is the curse of the heart. 20 Take no heaviness to heart: drive it away, and member the last end.

  • Day three to seven is a time to put away sorrow and hatred (if we have any against anyone by not forgiving them) knowing we are called to be sons of the Lord and that we also could die so we need to focus on the commandments either way:

Ecclesiasticus 28:6-7 

Remember thy end, and let enmity cease; remember corruption and death, and abide in the commandments. 7 Remember the commandments, and bear no malice to thy neighbour: remember the covenant of the Highest, and wink at ignorance.

  • It’s a time to remember the reality of death, and forgive those that we may have issues with as well, obeying the truth of the gospel

Ecclesiasticus 38:21

Forget it not, for there is no turning again:.. 

  • The person that died can’t come back into the world right now, so the heaviness of sorrow won’t actually help them or us.

..thou shalt not do him good, but hurt thyself.

  • The dead, if they could speak to you, they would encourage you to purge your heart too, either to avoid the torments they may be in [Luke 16:23-31] or to be with them in paradise in the end because we walked in the world obeying the truth unto unfeigned love towards all fulfilling the commandments through faith in the Lord Yache . [Rev 22:14-15; 2:7]

Ecclesiasticus 38:22-23

Remember my judgment: for thine also shall be so; yesterday for me, and to day for thee. 23 When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest; and be comforted for him, when his Spirit is departed from him.

  • Within the third day a person ought to start comforting themselves for the loss and eventually by the seventh day, let their remembrance rest. Eventually, the 7th day (sabbath in some instances which is a day of rejoicing regardless) will come, which is time to let their remembrance rest and focus again on purging our hearts in purification through the Gospel and then purifying with olive oil, washing clothes (being the clothes the person has on the seventh day) and bathing one’s self to be clean at even.  

How to be Purified under “Grace”

  • This sprinkling of the water of separation on the 3rd and 7th day was done because it was for the purifying of the flesh, yet we are no longer under the law, but under grace. 

Rom 6:14-15  

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? Alahayim forbid​

  • For this reason we now have the true sprinkling of the water of separation in the preaching of the Gospel for the purifying of our hearts by faith during this grace period we have to learn to keep the commandments while there is hope. So to ensure we do not sin though we are no longer under the law of carnal ordinances, instead of the water of separation to purify the flesh from the law, we have the blood of Christ that purges our conscience and his Gospel for the purifying of our hearts being under the grace of Christ’s sacrifice: 

Heb 9:13-14  

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to Alahayim, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living Alahayim?​​​

  • The carnal ordinance of the Law for purification by the water of separation was the preparation to bring us unto faith in Christ and the works of faith for purification for sins (and uncleannesses) under Grace:

Gal 3:23  

But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

  • We were kept under the law of carnal sacrifices imposed until the reformation of the law by faith in Christ would come:

Gal 3:24  

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.​

  • Seeing that the school master (law of carnal ordinances) brings us to the justification by faith in Christ, now that faith in Christ is come for reformation of the law, we are no longer under the school master of the deeds of the law in carnal ordinances that require sacrifices of animals like "the water of separation" for purification in this instance:

Gal 3:25  

But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Rom 3:28  

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. â€‹

  • We conclude that a man is justified by faith in Christ for the purging of the conscience and the works of the faith for the true purification of the heart from sins by grace, not by the deeds of the law in carnal ordinances requiring animal sacrifice that can only purify the flesh like purifying with the water of separation. This does not mean that we may sin since the carnal ordinances (animal sacrifice and water of separation) cannot justify us and we are no longer under them. On the contrary, the law is spiritual (instructing us in righteousness) giving us understanding of spiritual things and must be upheld by keeping from sin so that righteousness may reign through the grace we are given:

Rom 6:15  

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? Alahayim forbid.

Romans 5:21

That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Yache Christ our Lord. â€‹

  • This means we still have to fulfill the commandments that are not carnal ordinances of the sacrifices by upholding the true spiritual ordinances and sacrifices as the law is spiritual by which we are to offer up our spiritual sacrifices by Yache Christ the Lord: 

Rom 7:14, 12  

For we know that the law is spiritual:..12  Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good 

1 Peter 2:5

Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to Alahayim by Yache Christ.

Rom 3:30-31  

Seeing it is one Alahayim, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Alahayim forbid: yea, we establish the law​

  • To establish the spiritual law by faith, we have Christ’s blood to cleanse and purge our conscience and the preachig of the Gospel to purify our hearts instead of the water of separation that could only purge the flesh:

Hebrews 9:22-23, 12 

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

Barnabas 8:2-3

2 Understand ye how in all plainness it is spoken unto you; the calf is Yache, the men that offer it, being sinners, are they that offered Him for the slaughter. After this it is no more men (who offer); the glory is no more for sinners. 3 The children who sprinkle are they that preached unto us the forgiveness of sins and the purification of our heart, they to whom, being twelve in number for a testimony unto the tribes (for there are twelve tribes of Israel), He gave authority over the Gospel, that they should preach it.

  • Today, we have the blood of Christ to purge us and purify us in place of the carnal ordinances of animal sacrifices and his gospel preached unto us for the purifying of our hearts in place of the sprinkling of the water of separation, yet the law is spiritual and commandments are holy, just and good, so we must perform the spiritual law pertaining to being unclean by the dead: 

Numbers 19:11 

He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.​

  • He is unclean, yet he cannot defile anyone by direct contact himself (though he is unclean 7 days). When it comes to objects, he can defile anything he touches [Hag 2:12-13] and whoever touches whatever he touched will be unclean until the even. In such instances, the person made unclean by touching the unclean thing he touched is not required to do any washing or bathing to be made clean at even. The person made unclean by the dead for seven days cannot enter the Sanctuary during this uncleanness: 

Numbers 5:1-3

And Ahayah spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp ….whosoever is defiled by the dead: Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.

  • During the seven days of his uncleanness, he must do the following before the evening of the seventh day to be clean at even:  

Numbers 19:19

And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.​

The things to be done for purification when unclean by the dead:

  1. On the Third and Seventh Day: Sprinkling of the Gospel for the purifying of the heart on the third and seventh day.

  2. On the Seventh Day: Purify oneself (anointing with oil in the name of Yache for forgiveness of sins) 

  3. On the Seventh Day: Wash ones’s clothes (worn on the seventh day)

  4. On the Seventh Day: Bathe oneself in water â€‹

The Purifying Process under Grace

"The Third and Seventh day Purifications"

Numbers 19:19

And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day..

Numbers 19:12

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. 

  • The third and seventh days are days of purification with the true water of separation (the word of the Gospel) to self examine and purge our heart so that we also purify our hearts and do good works that we may live. The focusing on purging one’s heart is being truthful with one’s self to purge double mindedness in lust, and do the work to change with our own hands to obey the truth of the Gospel and love others hoping in the salvation of Alahayim (Christ) and doing the work to overcome the world. 

"The Seventh Day Purifying"

Numbers 19:19

And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.

  • After going through the sprinkling of the true water of separation (the word of Gospel) for the purifying of the heart on the third and seventh day, the person is clean to purify themselves on the seventh day by anointing, washing their clothes and bathing themselves (so long as they have no other existing uncleannesses that would hinder them from being able to anoint themselves as the unclean cannot anoint themselves or others. In such instances someone else would have to anoint them for their purifying from the dead to cleanse them of that uncleanness at least.)

  • 1. Prayer unto Yache to anoint the olive oil (olive oil must be used):

The Acts of Thomas 154

The apostle took oil in a cup of silver and spoke thus over it: “Fruit more beautiful than all other fruits, to which none other whatsoever can be compared, altogether merciful, zealous with the force of the word, power of the tree which men clothed themselves with overcoming their adversaries, crowner of the conquerors, help and joy of the sick, that announced to men their salvation that showed light to them that are in darkness; whose leaf is bitter, but in your most sweet fruit you are fair, that are rough to the sight but soft to the taste; seeming to be weak, but in the greatness of your strength able to bear the power that beholds all things. Having said this: “Yache, let Your victorious might come and be established in this oil, like as it was established in the tree (wood) that was its own kind, even his might at that time, by which they that crucified You could not endure the Word: let Your gift also come by which You breathed upon Your enemies, which caused them to fall backward headfirst and let its power rest on this oil, whereupon we invoke Your holy name….

  • 2. Anoint the head with the anointing oil praying unto Yache for purification of sins:

The Acts of Thomas 154

And having said this, he poured it first upon the head of Iuzanes and then upon the woman’s heads, saying: “In your name, O Yache Christ, let it be to these souls for the forgiveness of their sins and for turning back the enemy and for the salvation of their souls.”​

  • 3. Wash your clothes and bathe yourself before even to be clean when night comes: 

Numbers 19:19

….. and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall sbe clean at even.

Summary

  • Through precepts, this is the process of purification for defilement by the dead in the faith of Yache Christ.

1Co 6:11  

….: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Yache, and by the Spirit of our Alahayim. 

Heb 10:22  

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

Eph 5:26  

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word â€‹

What if I didn’t Cleanse the 7th day?

Numbers 19:11-13, 19-20 

He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days. 12 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. 13  Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of Ahayah; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him 19 And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even. 20 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 Ahayah: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.

  • In such instances of not fulfilling the required purification in the seventh day to become clean, one must confess the fault and complete the purification

Leviticus 5:3, 5-6 

…whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty. 5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing: 6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.

  • Confess that the law wasn’t performed, then perform the law to be cleansed:

What Must I do on the Seventh Day to be Clean? 

Num 19:19  

… and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even 

  • * All three of these things (purify with olive oil, wash the clothes you had on the seventh day and bathe yourself) need to be done the same day before even.

The Laws for the Sons of Aaron (for the Dead)

Leviticus 21:1 

And Ahayah said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:

  • By precept, this means: 

Eze 44:25  

And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves. 

Leviticus 21:2

But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother, 3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.

  • A son of Aaron cannot come to any dead person to defile themselves unless it’s their father, mother, son, daughter, brother, or unmarried virgin sister who lived with the family. For anyone outside of the people Ahayah mentioned, the sons of Aaron cannot be defiled, so they cannot go to a funeral in a building if the dead body is in the place lest they get defiled going in a tent where the dead is: 

Numbers 19:14 

This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.​

  • The sons of Aaron can go to a funeral in the open field, yet they cannot step on any grave, so they would have to be mindful of where they are walking so as not defile themselves for the dead.

Numbers 19:16

And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

  • for the sons of Aaron, it would be wise to stand at a distance of the burial site unless it’s a funeral for parents, children, brothers, or unmarried virgin sisters who lived with the family. The people at the funeral or who attended a funeral that get defiled by one of the aforementioned means according to the law [Num 19:11, 14-16] cannot defile anyone else by direct contact yet they can defile anything they touch, so the sons of Aaron can still be around such persons outside of any place that could defile them like the building where the dead body is or the burial site in the open field. The sons of Aaron will be defiled by touching whatsoever the unclean by the dead have touched but it would not be an unlawful uncleanness for them as they are not being defiled by the dead themselves as the law required, yet to eat of the holy things, he would have to wash himself before even to be cleansed to eat them. Also, if a son of Aaron goes into a home, tent or building where the dead had died and touch the things that were made unclean by the dead, he must wash himself before even: 

Washings for Sons of Aaron

Numbers 19:14-15

This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent:… every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.

  • The room where the dead body is, all the open vessels is unclean and if a son of Aaron touches them, then he’ll have to wash before eating the holy things;

Lev 22:4, 6-7

What man soever of the seed of Aaron… toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, 6 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water. And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.

  • The law requires the sons of Aaron to wash if they touch the things unclean by a person unclean by the dead who touched it or an open vessel that was made unclean by the dead body before coming unto the holy things.

Numbers 19:11, 14, 16, 22

He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days. 14 This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days. 16 And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. 22 And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.

  • Laws for Aaron’s sons pertaining to holy things 

Leviticus 22:1-6

And Ahayah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am Ahayah. 3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto Ahayah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am Ahayah. 4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him; 5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath; 6 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.

  • This points out that a son of Aaron has to bathe himself for these specific uncleannesses before eating the holy things:

    1. leprosy [Lev 13-14]

    2. running issues (disease/infections) [Lev 15:1-15]

    3. Touching an unclean vessel by the dead in a tent [Num 19:15]

    4. Touching something the unclean by the dead touched. [Hag 2:12-3]

    5. Uncleanness by intercourse or nocturnal pollution [Lev 15:16-18, Duet 23:10-11]

    6. Touching creeping things dead carcass [Lev 11:31]

    7. Touching a woman’s (menstrual/Infection/Disease) [Lev 15:19-30; 1-15] or man’s flesh with an issue (infection/disease). [Lev 15:1-15]]

Leviticus 22:7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.

  • If a son of Aaron eats food made unclean by someone unclean by the dead touching it, they’ll have to confess their sin and bathe to be clean after even;

Haggai 2:12-13

… bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat…13 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.

Lev 5:2-4, 5-6

Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty. 3 Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty. 5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing: 6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto Ahayah for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin

  • All a son of Aaron can do when it comes to their knowledge is confess they sinned and give the proper offering for his sin offering according to the law of Faith under grace:

Lev 5:17-18

And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of Ahayah; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. 18 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not, and it shall be forgiven him

  • Eating food contaminated by the unclean isn’t lawful, so the son of Aaron would just have to confess, bath and wait until even so he can eat the holy things and offer his prayers in Lord Yache’s name for his trespass offering (forgiving others himself so that he may be forgiven) and going forward obeying the law by hearkening which is better than a sacrifice:

Mark 11:25 

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Mark 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

1 Samuel 15:22 

And Samuel said, Hath Ahayah as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Ahayah? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

​Summary of Understanding Uncleanness by the Dead

In closing, anyone who comes and touches a dead body, bone of a man, a grave or one slain is unclean seven days. Anyone who is in a house where someone has died is unclean seven days. Anyone who comes into a house where a dead person is, is unclean seven days, so going to a funeral where the dead body is in the building defiles whoever comes into the building. Beware of people having urns of the dead in their homes as well. Whoever goes into the open field and touches a grave is defiled by the dead for seven days. When going to funerals or burial sites outdoors, stepping on any graves does make a person unclean for seven days. Anyone, who is defiled by the dead for any of the reasons aforementioned cannot defile anyone by direct contact (though the unclean by the dead themselves are unclean 7 days) yet they can defile anything they touch [Hag 2:12-13] and whoever touches whatever they touched will be unclean until the even (the person made unclean by touching the unclean thing is not required to do any washing or bathing to be made clean at even in such instances aside from sons of Aaron in order to eat of the holy things). On the third and sevent day, the unclean must purify their hearts with the true water of separation process. Also on the seventh day, the unclean by the dead must anoint themselves, wash their clothes (worn the seventh day) and bathe themselves in water to be clean at even. These three things must be done the same seventh day to be clean at even. The Sons of Aaron may only be defiled for their father, mother, son, daughter, brother, or unmarried sister who lived with the family and would be unclean 7 days and they would need to perform the purification process under grace on the third and seventh day to be clean at even when the eighth day comes in.​

The Laws for the High Priest

Lev 21:10-12

And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes; 11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; 12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his Alahayim; for the crown of the anointing oil of his Alahayim is upon him: I am Ahayah.
