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.
