Whoever touches the dead body of any person shall be unclean seven days.
Numbers 19:11
Contact with death or things closely associated with death makes a person ritually unclean. Being in the presence of death drains life from the living and touching a corpse, human bone, or grave and being in a building when a person dies make a person unclean for seven days.
Numbers 19:14-16
Clean and unclean are roughly analogous to life-adding and life-subtracting. They don't really have anything to do with being physically clean and dirty.

DEVOTIONAL
What should we do?
Our default setting isn’t selflessness. We often judge ourselves by our intentions, but we judge others by their actions. We can be quick to accuse without first looking at ourselves.
But Jesus calls us to live differently:
“Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.”
Matthew 7:12 NLT
Often referred to as the “golden rule,” it’s a brilliant litmus test for discerning how to respond to people in the face of hardship, uncertainty, and pain.
Here are some ways we can apply this verse to our daily lives:
When someone hurts you
Have you ever hurt somebody else, either accidentally or intentionally? And when the mistake was made or realized, did you want to be screamed at and given a harsh consequence, or did you want grace and a second chance?
To the extent we forgive, we are forgiven. So what if today we gave to others the same grace, compassion, and mercy that we would like to receive?
When someone is struggling
When you personally experience hardships, you might seek counsel from a pastor or a mentor, but you probably also want a friend who will listen to you. You want someone to come alongside you who can handle your honest thoughts, and help you navigate the hurt in this world.
Just as we need people to encourage us, we are also called to be that source of support to others. So today, consider what you can do to point people to God’s love and truth.
When someone has annoyed you
People can be irritating. But if you were considered an annoyance by somebody else, would you rather that person talk badly about you, or have patience with you? We are all works in progress, and we are all called to show each other mercy and grace.
So this week, when you’re tempted to lash out at someone requiring a little “extra” of you, or dismiss someone who’s getting on your last nerve, consider thinking: If I were them, what would I want?
If we want to live like Jesus, then we need to do what He asks of us. And Jesus explained that, in order to do that, one profound mindset was required: treat others like you’d want to be treated.

SMALL STRAWS by MARSHA BURNS
I speak to those who have plans for the future, and you think you are ready to step into your dream. But, it is like building a house before the foundation has been laid. The structure will not stand. You must do the hard work of preparation first and be sure that your foundation is secure. Matthew 7:24-27 Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.
Do things tend to fluster you? I think we all have days where opposition or fear strangle us and keep us from doing what YHVH has planned for us. https://archive.aweber.com/awlist6425868/4r.o.

Who would choose to take an action knowing that it could be very dangerous and possibly end your life in a horrific tragedy? Many people. People who join the armed service or who are first responders do so knowing they may be killed in the line of duty. There is another example in the Bible that we sometimes glamorize but it was very dangerous. The job of a prophet is to hear directly from the Creator and then speak the exact words they are given to whom they are instructed. Most prophets were killed in horrific ways. Each of the prophets we read in the Bible chose to live the way they were designed to live. Jeremiah 1:5, “ Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations” KJV
