Ashes of the red heifer

19:1 And Yehovah spake to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
19:2 This [is] the ordinance of the law which Yehovah has commanded, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring ya'll a red heifer without spot, wherein [is] no blemish, [and] upon which never came yoke
19:3 And you shall give her to Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and [one] shall slay her before his face
19:4 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
19:5 And [one] shall burn the heifer in his sight ; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn
19:6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast [it] into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
19:7 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.
19:8 And he that burned her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
19:9 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.
19:10 And he that gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even and it shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger that lives among them, for a statute for ever.
19:11 He that touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.

19:13 Whosoever touches the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifies not himself, defiled the tabernacle of Yehovah ; 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.
