1 And the LORD * h3068 spake * h1696 h8762 unto Moses * h4872 and unto Aaron * h175, saying * h559 h8800,
2 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:
3 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:
4 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:
5 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:
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
10 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.
11 He that toucheth * h5060 h8802 the dead * h4191 h8801 body * h5315 of any man * h120 shall be unclean * h2930 h8804 seven * h7651 days * h3117. man: Heb. soul of man
12 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.
13 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.
14 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.
15 And every open * h6605 h8803 vessel * h3627, which hath no covering * h6781 bound * h6616 upon it, is unclean * h2931.
16 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.
17 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: ashes: Heb. dust running...: Heb. living waters shall be given
18 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:
19 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.
20 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.
21 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.
22 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.
