Contextual Overview
11 He that toucheth the dead, even any human person, shall be unclean seven days. 12 He, shall cleanse himself from sin therewith on the third day, then on the seventh day, shall he be clean, - but if he cleanse not himself from sin on the third day, then on the seventh day, shall he not be clean, 13 Whoso-ever toucheth the dead the person of the human being that dieth and doth not cleanse himself from sin, the habitation of Yahweh, hath he made unclean; that person therefore shall be cut off out of Israel, - because, the water of separation, was not dashed upon him, unclean, shall he be, his uncleanness is yet upon him. 14 This, is the law - When, a human being, shall die in a tent, every one who goeth into the tent and every one who is in the tent shall be unclean seven days. 15 And, in the case of every open vessel, on which no cover is fastened, unclean, it is. 16 And, whosoever toucheth on the face of the field, one slain with a sword, or one who hath died, or a human bone or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. 17 And they shall take, for him that is un-clean, of the ashes of the burning of the sin-bearer, - and living water shall be put thereon in a vessel, 18 Then shall a man that is clean take hyssop, and dip in the water, and sprinkle upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons who were there, - and upon him that touched the bone or him who had been slain, or him who had died of himself or the grave; 19 and the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean, on the third day, and on the seventh day, - so shall he cleanse himself from sin, on the seventh day, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe in water and be clean in the evening. 20 But in the ease of the man who shall be unclean and shall not cleanse himself from sin, that person shall be cut off, out of the midst of the convocation, - for, the sanctuary of Yahweh, hath he made unclean, the water of separation, hath not been dashed upon him unclean, he is.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
This is the law when a man dieth in a tent,.... A tent is only mentioned, because the Israelites now dwelt in tents, as Aben Ezra remarks; otherwise the law holds equally good of an house as of a tent:
all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days; the meaning of which is, that all persons that come into a tent or house where a dead body is are equally unclean as those that were in it when it died; and the same is to be supposed of all vessels brought into it, as well as those that are in it, that is, open ones, as appears by what follows.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
One practical effect of attaching defilement to a dead body, and to all that touched it, etc., would be to insure early burial, and to correct a practice not uncommon in the East, of leaving the deal to be devoured by the wild beasts.
