Numbers
Chapter 19
1
And Jehovah/God spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2
This
is the ordinance of the law
which
Jehovah/God has commanded, saying,
Speak
unto the children of Israel,
that
they bring you a red heifer without spot,
wherein
is no blemish,
and
upon which never came yoke.
3
And you shall give her unto Eleazar the priest,
that
he may bring her forth without the camp,
and
one shall slay 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 one shall burn the heifer in his sight;
her
skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung,
shall
he burn.
6
And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet,
and
cast 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 without the camp in a clean place,
and
it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel
for
a water of separation.
It
is a purification 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 unto the children of Israel,
and
unto the stranger who sojourns 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 purify not himself the third day,
then
the seventh day he shall not be clean.
13
Whosoever touches the dead body of any man that is dead,
and
purifies not himself,
defiles
the tabernacle of Jehovah/God;
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 yet upon him.
14
This is the law, when a man dies in a tent.
All
who come into the tent, and all who is in the tent,
shall
be unclean seven days.
15
And every open vessel,
which
has no covering bound upon it,
is
unclean.
16
And whosoever touches
one
who 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.
17
And for an unclean person
they
shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin,
and
running water shall be put thereto in a vessel.
18
And a clean person shall take hyssop, 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 who touched a bone,
or
one slain, or one dead, or a grave.
19
And the clean person
shall
sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day,
and
on the seventh day.
And
on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes,
and
bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.
20
But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself,
that
soul shall be cut off from among the congregation,
because
he has defiled the sanctuary of Jehovah/God.
The
water of separation has not been sprinkled upon him;
he
is unclean.
21
And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them,
that
he who sprinkles the water of separation
shall
wash his clothes;
and
he who touches the water of separation
shall
be unclean until evening.
22
And whatsoever the unclean person touches shall be unclean;
and
the soul that touches it shall be unclean until evening.
