In the Urantia Book

For the Jews one could incur defilement:

  • * by contact with the dead, as in the case of Nazirite vows, which required purification 135:1.1 135:2.1

* entering a Gentile building before Passover (185:0.3-4)

  • There was also a Mosaic ordinance which directed that a mother, after the passing of a certain period of time, should present herself, or have someone make the proper sacrifice for her, at the temple for purification. 84:4.6 122:9.1 122:10.2
  • Greeks held the menstruating woman as one of the three great causes of defilement, the other two being pork and garlic. 84:4.8
  • For Jesus man is only defiled by that evil which may originate within the heart, and which finds expression in the words and deeds of such unholy persons. 153:3.5
