What is the law for when someone dies in a tent and what can we do today in consideration of this?
Answer From The Annual Reading Schedule - Week 36 Notes For Numbers: Read Numbers 19:14-15. In consideration of this, what we can do today is not use vessels that were open to eat or drink from if those vessels were inside a location where someone died. I'm not sure what kind of vessels this is speaking of specifically, but I guess we would want to cover all vessels (perhaps bowls, cups, pots, pans, etc.?) we have if someone in the home is near death and we are caring for them in the home. Alternatively, if we are concerned about this we could just get new vessels and get rid of the old if the person near death did in fact die while they were open. We also would not want to use any vessels from a hospital for eating or drinking if we have an alternative since people commonly die there.
Of course, if we're caring for someone who is very sick in a hospital, they and/or we may not have much choice in the matter if we want to continue caring for them. In situations like that, we could use temporary vessels to eat, drink from, and/or store food in or just get new vessels to replace the ones that we took in the hospital with us. I'm not exactly sure what the Father wants us to do in these situations, but I'm sharing some ideas for people to consider.
One way that I practically applied this in my own life was I did avoid eating or drinking inside a funeral home when I was there after someone in the family had died. After reading this section of the Scriptures it just didn't seem like the kind of place to be having a meal or even a cup of water.
