Numbers 19:3-17

³And ye shall betake her to Eleazar, the priest, that shall offer her, led out of the tents, in the sight of all men.

⁴And he shall dip his finger in the blood thereof, and shall sprinkle seven times against the gates of the tabernacle.

⁵And he shall burn that cow, while all men see; and he shall give as well the skin, and the flesh thereof, as the blood, and the dung, to the burning.

⁶Also the priest shall put cedar wood, and hyssop, and red thread dyed twice, into the fire, that burneth the cow.

⁷And then at the last, when the priest’s clothes and his body be washed, he shall enter into the tents, and he shall be defouled, or unclean, till to eventide.

⁸But also he that burnt the cow, shall wash his clothes, and his body, and he shall be unclean till to eventide.

⁹Soothly a clean man shall gather the ashes of the cow, and he shall pour them out without the tents, in a place most clean, that those ashes be to the multitude of the sons of Israel into keeping, and into water of sprinkling; for that cow is burnt for sin.

¹⁰And when he that bare out the ashes of the cow, hath washed his clothes, he shall be unclean till to eventide. And the sons of Israel, and the comelings that dwell among them, shall have, or hold, this holy by ever-lasting law.

¹¹He that toucheth a dead body of a man, and is unclean for this by seven days,

¹²shall be sprinkled of this water in the third day, and in the seventh day; and so he shall be cleansed. If he is not sprinkled in the third day, he shall not be able to be cleansed in the seventh day.

¹³Each that toucheth the dead body by itself of man’s soul, and is not sprinkled with this meddling or mingling, defouleth the tabernacle of the Lord, and he shall perish from Israel; for he is not sprinkled with the water of cleansing, he shall be unclean, and his filth shall dwell upon him.

¹⁴This is the law of a man that dieth in the tabernacle; all that enter into his tent, and all the vessels that be there, shall be defouled by seven days.

¹⁵A vessel that hath not a covering, neither a binding above, shall be unclean.

¹⁶If any man toucheth the dead body of a man slain in the field, either dead by himself, either a bone of him, either his sepulchre, he shall be unclean by seven days.

¹⁷And they shall take of the ashes of the burning, and of the sin, that is, of the cow offered for sin, and they shall put quick waters into a vessel, upon those ashes;
