Numbers 19:1-13 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron saying,

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron saying, ² This is the ordinance of the law which Jehovah has commanded, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you a red heifer without blemish, in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke ever came. ³ And you shall give her to Eleazar the priest that he may bring her forth outside the camp. And he shall kill her before his face. ⁴ And 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. ⁵ And he shall burn the heifer in his sight, her skin and her flesh and her blood with her dung, he shall burn. ⁶ And the priest shall take cedar-wood and hyssop and scarlet, and throw it into the midst of the burning of the heifer. ⁷ Then 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 the evening. ⁸ And he who burns her shall wash his clothes in water and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening. ⁹ And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the sons of Israel for a water of separation. It is a cleansing for sin. ¹⁰ And he who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. And it shall be to the sons of Israel, and to the stranger that lives among them, for a statute forever. ¹¹ He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days. ¹² He 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. ¹³ Whoever touches the dead body of any man that is dead, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of Jehovah. And that soul shall be cut off from Israel. Because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean. His uncleanness is still upon him.
