Numbers 19:6–18

⁶And the priest shall take ^ecedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer. ⁷Then the priest ^fshall 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 even. ⁸And ^ghe that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even. ⁹And a man that is clean shall gather up ^hthe ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in ⁱa clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel ^jfor a water of separation: it is a purification for sin. ¹⁰And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.

^11kHe that toucheth the dead body of any ^†man shall be unclean seven days. ¹²He ^lshall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean. ¹³Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, ^mdefileth the tabernacle of the Lord; and ⁿthat soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; ⁿhis uncleanness is yet upon him. ¹⁴This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days. ¹⁵And every ^oopen vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean. ¹⁶And ^pwhosoever toucheth one that is slain 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 ^qof the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and ^†running water shall be put thereto in a vessel: ¹⁸And a clean person shall take ^rhyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
