And the LORD{H3068} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Moses{H4872} and unto Aaron{H175}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

This is the ordinance{H2708} of the law{H8451} which the LORD{H3068} hath commanded{H6680}{(H8765)}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Speak{H1696}{(H8761)} unto the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, that they bring{H3947}{(H8799)} thee a red{H122} heifer{H6510} without spot{H8549}, wherein is no blemish{H3971}, and upon which never{H3808} came{H5927}{(H8804)} yoke{H5923}:

And ye shall give{H5414}{(H8804)} her unto Eleazar{H499} the priest{H3548}, that he may bring her forth{H3318}{(H8689)} without{H2351} the camp{H4264}, and one shall slay{H7819}{(H8804)} her before{H6440} his face:

And Eleazar{H499} the priest{H3548} shall take{H3947}{(H8804)} of her blood{H1818} with his finger{H676}, and sprinkle{H5137}{(H8689)} of her blood{H1818} directly{H5227} before{H6440} the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150} seven{H7651} times{H6471}:

And one shall burn{H8313}{(H8804)} the heifer{H6510} in his sight{H5869}; her skin{H5785}, and her flesh{H1320}, and her blood{H1818}, with her dung{H6569}, shall he burn{H8313}{(H8799)}:

And the priest{H3548} shall take{H3947}{(H8804)} cedar{H730} wood{H6086}, and hyssop{H231}, and scarlet{H8438}{H8144}, and cast{H7993}{(H8689)} it into the midst{H8432} of the burning{H8316} of the heifer{H6510}.

Then the priest{H3548} shall wash{H3526}{(H8765)} his clothes{H899}, and he shall bathe{H7364}{(H8804)} his flesh{H1320} in water{H4325}, and afterward{H310} he shall come{H935}{(H8799)} into the camp{H4264}, and the priest{H3548} shall be unclean{H2930}{(H8804)} until the even{H6153}.

And he that burneth{H8313}{(H8802)} her shall wash{H3526}{(H8762)} his clothes{H899} in water{H4325}, and bathe{H7364}{(H8804)} his flesh{H1320} in water{H4325}, and shall be unclean{H2930}{(H8804)} until the even{H6153}.

And a man{H376} that is clean{H2889} shall gather{H622}{(H8804)} up the ashes{H665} of the heifer{H6510}, and lay them up{H3240}{(H8689)} without{H2351} the camp{H4264} in a clean{H2889} place{H4725}, and it shall be kept{H4931} for the congregation{H5712} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} for a water{H4325} of separation{H5079}: it is a purification for sin{H2403}.

And he that gathereth{H622}{(H8802)} the ashes{H665} of the heifer{H6510} shall wash{H3526}{(H8765)} his clothes{H899}, and be unclean{H2930}{(H8804)} until the even{H6153}: and it shall be unto the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, and unto the stranger{H1616} that sojourneth{H1481}{(H8802)} among{H8432} them, for a statute{H2708} for ever{H5769}.

He that toucheth{H5060}{(H8802)} the dead{H4191}{(H8801)} body{H5315} of any man{H120} shall be unclean{H2930}{(H8804)} seven{H7651} days{H3117}.

He shall purify{H2398}{(H8691)} himself with it on the third{H7992} day{H3117}, and on the seventh{H7637} day{H3117} he shall be clean{H2891}{(H8799)}: but if he purify{H2398}{(H8691)} not himself the third{H7992} day{H3117}, then the seventh{H7637} day{H3117} he shall not be clean{H2891}{(H8799)}.

Whosoever toucheth{H5060}{(H8802)} the dead{H4191}{(H8801)} body{H5315} of any man{H120} that is dead{H4191}{(H8799)}, and purifieth{H2398}{(H8691)} not himself, defileth{H2930}{(H8765)} the tabernacle{H4908} of the LORD{H3068}; and that soul{H5315} shall be cut off{H3772}{(H8738)} from Israel{H3478}: because the water{H4325} of separation{H5079} was not sprinkled{H2236}{(H8795)} upon him, he shall be unclean{H2931}; his uncleanness{H2932} is yet upon him.

This is the law{H8451}, when a man{H120} dieth{H4191}{(H8799)} in a tent{H168}: all that come{H935}{(H8802)} into the tent{H168}, and all that is in the tent{H168}, shall be unclean{H2930}{(H8799)} seven{H7651} days{H3117}.

And every open{H6605}{(H8803)} vessel{H3627}, which hath no covering{H6781} bound{H6616} upon it, is unclean{H2931}.

And whosoever toucheth{H5060}{(H8799)} one that is slain{H2491} with a sword{H2719} in the open{H6440} fields{H7704}, or a dead body{H4191}{(H8801)}, or a bone{H6106} of a man{H120}, or a grave{H6913}, shall be unclean{H2930}{(H8799)} seven{H7651} days{H3117}.

And for an unclean{H2931} person they shall take{H3947}{(H8804)} of the ashes{H6083} of the burnt heifer{H8316} of purification for sin{H2403}, and running{H2416} water{H4325} shall be put{H5414}{(H8804)} thereto in a vessel{H3627}:

And a clean{H2889} person{H376} shall take{H3947}{(H8804)} hyssop{H231}, and dip{H2881}{(H8804)} it in the water{H4325}, and sprinkle{H5137}{(H8689)} it upon the tent{H168}, and upon all the vessels{H3627}, and upon the persons{H5315} that were there, and upon him that touched{H5060}{(H8802)} a bone{H6106}, or one slain{H2491}, or one dead{H4191}{(H8801)}, or a grave{H6913}:

And the clean{H2889} person shall sprinkle{H5137}{(H8689)} upon the unclean{H2931} on the third{H7992} day{H3117}, and on the seventh{H7637} day{H3117}: and on the seventh{H7637} day{H3117} he shall purify{H2398}{(H8765)} himself, and wash{H3526}{(H8765)} his clothes{H899}, and bathe{H7364}{(H8804)} himself in water{H4325}, and shall be clean{H2891}{(H8804)} at even{H6153}.

But the man{H376} that shall be unclean{H2930}{(H8799)}, and shall not purify{H2398}{(H8691)} himself, that soul{H5315} shall be cut off{H3772}{(H8738)} from among{H8432} the congregation{H6951}, because he hath defiled{H2930}{(H8765)} the sanctuary{H4720} of the LORD{H3068}: the water{H4325} of separation{H5079} hath not been sprinkled{H2236}{(H8795)} upon him; he is unclean{H2931}.

And it shall be a perpetual{H5769} statute{H2708} unto them, that he that sprinkleth{H5137}{(H8688)} the water{H4325} of separation{H5079} shall wash{H3526}{(H8762)} his clothes{H899}; and he that toucheth{H5060}{(H8802)} the water{H4325} of separation{H5079} shall be unclean{H2930}{(H8799)} until even{H6153}.

And whatsoever the unclean{H2931} person toucheth{H5060}{(H8799)} shall be unclean{H2930}{(H8799)}; and the soul{H5315} that toucheth{H5060}{(H8802)} it shall be unclean{H2930}{(H8799)} until even{H6153}.
