Numbers 19Ceremony of the Red Heifer

1The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

2 shall be burned.

6 shall wash his clothes in water and bathe his body in water; he shall remain unclean until evening.

9 or a human bone, or a grave shall be unclean seven days.

17v 9For the unclean they shall take some ashes of the burnt purification offering, and running water shall be added in a vessel;

18then a clean person shall take hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, on all the furnishings, on the persons who were there, and on whoever touched the bone, the slain, the corpse, or the grave.

19Heb 10.22The clean person shall sprinkle the unclean ones on the third day and on the seventh day, thus purifying them on the seventh day. Then they shall wash their clothes and bathe themselves in water, and at evening they shall be clean.

20v 13Any who are unclean but do not purify themselves, those persons shall be cut off from the assembly, for they have defiled the sanctuary of the Lord. Since the water for cleansing has not been dashed on them, they are unclean.

21“It shall be a perpetual statute for them. The one who sprinkles the water for cleansing shall wash his clothes, and whoever touches the water for cleansing shall be unclean until evening.

22Hag 2.13, 14Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean, and anyone who touches it shall be unclean until evening.”
