And the LORDspokeuntoMosesand untoAaron, saying, This is the ordinanceof the lawwhichthe LORDhath commanded, saying, Speakuntothe childrenof Israel, that they bringthee a redheiferwithout spot, wherein is noblemish, and uponwhichnevercameyoke: And ye shall giveher untoEleazarthe priest, that he may bring her forthwithoutthe camp, and one shall slayher beforehis face: And Eleazarthe priestshall takeof her bloodwith his finger, and sprinkleof her blooddirectlybeforethe tabernacleof the congregationseventimes: And one shall burnthe heiferin his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, withher dung, shall he burn: And the priestshall takecedarwood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it intothe midstof the burningof the heifer. Then the priestshall washhis clothes, and he shall bathehis fleshin water, and afterwardhe shall comeintothe camp, and the priestshall be uncleanuntilthe even. And he that burnethher shall washhis clothesin water, and bathehis fleshin water, and shall be uncleanuntilthe even. And a man that is cleanshall gather upthe ashesof the heifer, and lay them upwithoutthe campin a cleanplace, and it shall bekeptfor the congregationof the childrenof Israelfor a waterof separation: it is a purification for sin. And he that gathereththe ashesof the heifershall washhis clothes, and be uncleanuntilthe even: and it shall beunto the childrenof Israel, and unto the strangerthat sojournethamongthem, for a statuteforever. He that toucheththe deadbodyof anymanshall be uncleansevendays. Heshall purify himselfwith it on the thirdday, and on the seventhdayhe shall be clean: but ifhe purify not himselfthe thirdday, then the seventhdayhe shall notbe clean. Whosoevertoucheththe deadbodyof any manthatis dead, and purifieth not himself, defileththe tabernacleof the LORD; and thatsoulshall be cut offfrom Israel: becausethe waterof separationwas notsprinkleduponhim, he shall beunclean; his uncleanness is yetupon him. This is the law, whena mandiethin a tent: allthat comeintothe tent, and allthat is in the tent, shall be uncleansevendays. And everyopenvessel, whichhath nocoveringbounduponit, is unclean. And whosoevertouchethone that is slainwith a swordinthe openfields, ora dead body, ora boneof a man, ora grave, shall be uncleansevendays. And for an unclean person they shall takeof the ashesof the burnt heiferof purification for sin, and runningwatershall be puttheretoina vessel: And a cleanpersonshall takehyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it uponthe tent, and uponallthe vessels, and uponthe personsthatwerethere, and uponhim that toucheda bone, orone slain, orone dead, ora grave: And the clean person shall sprinkleuponthe uncleanon the thirdday, and on the seventhday: and on the seventhdayhe shall purifyhimself, and washhis clothes, and bathehimself in water, and shall be cleanat even. But the manthatshall be unclean, and shall notpurify himself, thatsoulshall be cut offfrom amongthe congregation, becausehe hath defiledthe sanctuaryof the LORD: the waterof separationhath notbeen sprinkleduponhim; he is unclean. And it shall bea perpetualstatuteunto them, that he that sprinkleththe waterof separationshall washhis clothes; and he that toucheththe waterof separationshall be uncleanuntileven. And whatsoeverthe unclean person touchethshall be unclean; and the soulthat toucheth it shall be uncleanuntileven.
