Numbers 19 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying. ² This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has instructed, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel that they should take for you a red, flawless young cow in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke has gone up. ³ You will give her to Eleazar the priest, and he will bring her forth to outside the camp, and one will slay her before him. ⁴ Eleazar the priest will take some of her blood on his finger and spatter some of her blood seven times ahead toward the face of the tent of appointment. ⁵ Then one will burn the young cow before his eyes, her hide and her flesh and her blood. Over her dung shall one burn her. ⁶ The priest will take cedar wood, hyssop and double-dipped crimson yarn and fling them into the midst of the burning place of the young cow. ⁷ Then the priest will rinse his garments and bathe his flesh in water; afterward he may come into the camp; but the priest will be unclean until the evening. ⁸ And the one burning her shall rinse his garments in water and bathe his flesh in water. He too will be unclean until the evening. ⁹ Then a clean man will gather the ashes of the young cow and leave them outside the camp in a clean place. And they will be for safekeeping for the congregation of the sons of Israel for water of impurity; they are a burnt sin offering. ¹⁰ The one gathering the ashes of the young cow will rinse his garments and will be unclean until the evening. This will be an eonian statute for the sons of Israel and for the sojourner sojourning in their midst: ¹¹ The one touching the dead body of any human soul will be unclean seven days. ¹² He shall purify himself from sin with it on the third day; then on the seventh day he shall be clean. And if he does not purify himself from sin on the third day, then on the seventh day he shall not be clean. ¹³ Anyone touching a dead body, a human soul who died, and who does not purify himself from sin defiles the tabernacle of Yahweh; that soul will be cut off from Israel, for water of impurity was not sprinkled on him. He shall be unclean; his uncleanness will still be in him. ¹⁴ This is the law in case a human should die in a tent:Everyone entering the tent and everyone who is in the tent shall be unclean seven days. ¹⁵ Every open vessel on which there is no leather-cap fastened with twine, it is unclean. ¹⁶ Anyone who touches, on the surface of the field, one wounded to death by the sword or a dead body or a human bone or a tomb, he shall be unclean seven days. ¹⁷ They will take for the unclean from the soil of the burning place of the sin offering and put living water on it in a vessel. ¹⁸ A clean man will take hyssop, dip it in the water and spatter it on the tent and on all the vessels and on the souls which are there and on the one touching a bone or one wounded to death or a dead body or a tomb. ¹⁹ The clean one will spatter on the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day and thus expiate him on the seventh day. He will then rinse his garments and bathe in water and will be clean in the evening. ²⁰ If anyone who is unclean does not purify himself from sin, then that soul will be cut off from the midst of the assembly, for the sanctuary of Yahweh has he defiled; water of impurity was not sprinkled on him, he is unclean. ²¹ It will be to them an eonian statute that the one spattering the water of impurity shall also rinse his garments, and the one touching the water of impurity shall be unclean until the evening. ²² All that the unclean one touches is unclean, and the soul of the one touching shall be unclean until the evening.
