And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, saying: |
| 2
|
This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without blemish, wherein is no blemish, [and] on which never came yoke; |
| 3
|
and give it to Eleazar the priest, and bring it outside the camp, and slay her with him; |
| 4
|
and Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger sprinkle of her blood and the front of the tent of meeting seven times; |
| 5
|
and burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood with her dung, shall be burned; |
| 6
|
and the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet, and cast in the burning of the heifer; |
| 7
|
and the priest shall wash his clothes also, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the evening. |
| 8
|
And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening; |
| 9
|
and the man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a sin offering; |
| 10
|
and gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. This is for the children of Israel and for the strangers that sojourn among them, for a statute for ever.

Who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days: |
| 12
|
He shall purify himself [water] on the third day and on the seventh day, and shall be clean; if he does not purify himself on the third day, there will be clean; |
| 13
|
Whoever touches the dead body of a deceased person and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the Lord shall be cut off from Israel, for he is not sprinkled with water, he shall be unclean, his uncleanness is still on him. |
| 14
|
This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days; |
| 15
|
And every open vessel, which is not bound with and is not covered is unclean. |
| 16
|
Anyone who touches on the field one slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. |
| 17
|
For the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burnt sin offering, and poured it on the living water in a vessel; |
| 18
|
and let him who is clean take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle the tent and all the vessels that are in it, and touched the bones of [human], or the slain, or the dead, or the grave; |
| 19
|
and a clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and make atonement for him on the seventh day; and wash his clothes, and bathe [his body] in water, and shall be clean. |
| 20
|
If anyone is unclean and does not purify himself, that person shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the Lord; water of purification has not been sprinkled, he is unclean. |
| 21
|
And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them. Sprinkles the water shall wash his clothes; and touches the water will be unclean till evening. |
| 22
|
And whatever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and touches it shall be unclean until the evening. |
