1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, say­ing, 2 This is the or­di­nance of the law which the LORD hath com­mand­ed, say­ing, Speak unto the chil­dren of Is­rael, that they bring thee a red heifer with­out spot, where­in is no blem­ish, and upon which nev­er came yoke: 3 And ye 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 even. 8 And he that bur­neth her shall wash his clothes in wa­ter, and bathe his flesh in wa­ter, and shall be un­clean un­til the even. 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 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. 11 He that toucheth 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 toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and pu­ri­fi­eth not him­self, de­fileth the taber­na­cle of the LORD; 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 di­eth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be un­clean sev­en days. 15 And ev­ery open ves­sel, which hath no cov­er­ing bound upon it, is un­clean. 16 And whoso­ev­er 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. 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 that 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 even. 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 hath de­filed the sanc­tu­ary of the LORD: the wa­ter of sep­a­ra­tion hath not been sprin­kled upon him; he is un­clean. 21 And it shall be a per­pet­u­al statute unto them, that he that sprin­kleth the wa­ter of sep­a­ra­tion shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the wa­ter of sep­a­ra­tion shall be un­clean un­til even. 22 And what­so­ev­er the un­clean person toucheth shall be un­clean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be un­clean un­til even.
