Numbers 19

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 This is the constitution of the law, as the Lord has commanded, saying, Speak to the sonsof Israel, and let them take for you a red heifer without spot, which has no spot on her, and on whichno yoke has been put. 3 And you shall give her to Eleazar the priest; and they shall bring her out of the campinto a clean place, and shall kill her before his face. 4 And Eleazar shall take of her blood, and sprinkle of her blood seven times in front ofthe tabernacle of witness. 5 And they shall burn her to ashes before him; and her skin and her flesh and her blood,with her dung, shall be consumed. 6 And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet wool, and they shall castthem into the midst of the burning of the heifer. 7 And the priest shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and afterwards heshall go into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean till evening. 8 And he that burns her shall wash his garments, and bathe his body, and shall be uncleantill evening. 9 And a clean man shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up in a clean placeoutside the camp; and they shall be for the congregation of the children of Israel to keep: it is thewater of sprinkling, a purification. 10 And he that gathers up the ashes of the heifer shall wash his garments, and shall beunclean until evening; and it shall be a perpetual statute for the children of Israel and for the strangersjoined to them. 11 He that touches the dead body of any man, shall be unclean seven days. 12 He shall be purified on the third day and the seventh day, and shall be clean; but ifhe be not purged on the third day and the seventh day, he shall not be clean. 13 Every one that touches the carcase of the person of a man, if he should have died, andthe other not have been purified, has defiled the tabernacle of the Lord: that soul shall becut off from Israel, because the water of sprinkling has not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean; hisuncleanness is yet upon him. 14 And thisis the law; if a man die in a house, every one that goes into the house, and all things inthe house, shall be unclean seven days. 15 And every open vessel which has not a covering bound upon it, shall be unclean. 16 And every one who shall touch a man slain by violence, or a corpse, or human bone, orsepulchre, shall be unclean seven days. 17 And they shall take for the unclean of the burnt ashes of purification, and they shallpour upon them running water into a vessel. 18 And a clean man shall take hyssop, and dip it into the water, and sprinkle it upon thehouse, and the furniture, and all the souls that are therein, and upon him that touched the human bone,or the slain man, or the corpse, or the tomb. 19 And the clean man shall sprinklethe water on the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day, and on the seventh day heshall purify himself; andthe other shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening. 20 And whatever man shall be defiled and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cutoff from the midst of the congregation, because he has defiled the holy things of the Lord, because thewater of sprinkling has not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean. 21 And it shall be to you a perpetual statute; and he that sprinkles the water of sprinklingshall wash his garments; and he that touches the water of sprinkling shall be unclean until evening. 22 And whatever the unclean man shall touch shall be unclean, and the soul that touchesit shall be unclean till evening.
