Numbers 19
- 1And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
- 2This is the rule of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red young cow without spot, in which is no defect, and on which never came yoke:
- 3And you shall give her to Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her out outside the camp, and one shall kill her before his face.
- 4And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
- 5And one shall burn the young cow in his sight. Her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
- 6And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the middle of the burning of the young cow.
- 7Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until evening.
- 8And he who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until evening.
- 9And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the young cow, and lay them up outside 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 purification for sin.
- 10And he who gathers the ashes of the young cow shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening: and it shall be to the children of Israel, and to the foreigner that stays among them, for a law for ever.
- 11He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
- 12He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he does not purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
- 13Whoever touches the dead body of any man that is dead, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the Lord. That soul shall be cut off from Israel. Because the water of separation was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean. His uncleanness is yet on him.
- 14This is the law, when a man dies in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
- 15And every open container, which has no covering bound on it, is unclean.
- 16And whoever touches one that is killed with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
- 17And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt young cow of purification for sin, and running water shall be put to it in a container:
- 18And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and on all the items, and on the persons that were there, and on him who touched a bone, or one killed, or one dead, or a grave:
- 19And the clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean in the evening.
- 20But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the Lord: the water of separation has not been sprinkled on him. He is unclean.
- 21And it shall be a lasting law to them, that he who sprinkles the water of separation shall wash his clothes. He who touches the water of separation shall be unclean until evening.
- 22And whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean. The soul that touches it shall be unclean until evening.
