According to the Mosaic Law, which dates to the 16th century B.C.E., anyone touching a corpse became unclean for seven days and had to undergo a cleansing procedure that included bathing and washing his garments.
في القرن الـ‍ ١٦ ق‌م ،‏ ذكرت الشريعة الموسوية ان كل من يمس جثة يبقى نجسا ٧ ايام .‏ لذا كان عليه ان يستحم ويغسل ثيابه ويقوم بإجراءات اخرى ايضا .‏
