And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
Where contact with a dead body has occurred, every open vessel that has no covering bound upon it is unclean. The defilement belongs to the uncovered condition itself, so that an open container left without a fastened lid is rendered unclean by connection with the dead. This dead-body uncleanness rule governs the keeping of a dead person in a dwelling. Keeping Terry in the house would therefore make the household unclean.
