    Brief Summary: IF A PERSON DIES ON THE NAZARITE (Nu06-09a) cross references Nu19-14:17 discussing the tranfer of ritual purity from death in the same house.

Verse Nu06-09a discussing a sudden death in the Nazarite family states states And if any man die very suddenly beside him, and he defile his consecrated head, then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it. Rashi notes that the underlined words, suddenly besides him references verses Nu19-14:17 discussing transfer of ritual impurity through death in the same house. Hence the Rashi comment The phrase when someone dies on the Nazarite suddenly Nu06-09a is interpreted according to Nu19-14:17 as referring to a death in the same house. However someone dieing in his family at a distant location would not confer on him ritual impurity.
