- καὶ οὗτος ὁ νόμος· ἄνθρωπος ἐὰν ἀποθάνῃ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ, πᾶς ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ ὅσα ἐστὶν ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἀκάθαρτα ἔσται ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας·

Haydock's commentary
Days. Almost all nations seem to have considered themselves defiled by the presence of a corpse. Virgin (Æneid, vi. 149,) writes, Præterea jacet exanimum tibi corpus amici
Heu nescis! totamque incestat funere classem.
