Ordinance of the Red Heifer

Then the LORD^H3068 spoke^H1696 to Moses^H4872 and Aaron^H175, saying^H559,

Num 19:2“This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which there is no defect and on which a yoke has never [fn]been mounted.

Num 19:3

Num 19:3‘And you shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and it shall be brought outside the camp and be slaughtered in his presence.

Num 19:4

Num 19:4‘And Eleazar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and sprinkle some of its blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times.

Num 19:5

Num 19:5‘Then the heifer shall be burned in his sight; its hide, its flesh, and its blood, with its refuse, shall be burned.

Num 19:6

Num 19:6‘And the priest shall take cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet material, and throw it into the midst of the [fn]burning heifer.

Num 19:7

Num 19:7‘The priest shall then wash his clothes and bathe his [fn]body in water, and afterward come into the camp; but the priest will be [fn]unclean until evening.

Num 19:8

Num 19:8‘The one who burns [fn]the heifer shall also wash his clothes in water and bathe his [fn]body in water, and will be unclean until evening.

Num 19:9

Num 19:9‘Now a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and put them outside the camp in a clean place, and [fn]the congregation of the sons of Israel shall keep them for water to remove impurity; it is [fn]purification from sin.

Num 19:10

Num 19:10‘And the one who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening; and it shall be a permanent statute for the sons of Israel and for the stranger who resides among them.

Num 19:11

‘The one who touches^H5060 the dead^H4191 body^H4191 of any^H3605 [fn]person^H5315^H120 will also be^H2930 unclean^H2930 for seven^H7651 days^H3117.

Num 19:12

Num 19:12‘That one shall purify himself with [fn]the water on the third day and on the seventh day, and then he will be clean; but if he does not purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean.

Num 19:13

Num 19:13‘Anyone who touches a dead body, the [fn]body of a person who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the [fn]tabernacle of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from Israel. Since the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he will be unclean; his uncleanness is still on him.

Num 19:14

‘This^H2088 is the law^H8451 when^H3588 a person^H120 dies^H4191 in a tent^H168: everyone^H3605 who comes^H935 into the tent^H168 and everyone^H3605 who^H834 is in the tent^H168 will be^H2930 unclean^H2930 for seven^H7651 days^H3117.

Num 19:15

Num 19:15‘And every open container, which has no cover tied down on it, will be unclean.

Num 19:16

Num 19:16‘Also, anyone who in the open field touches one who has been killed with a sword or one who has died naturally, or touches a human bone or a grave, will be unclean for seven days.

Num 19:17

Num 19:17‘Then for the unclean person they shall take some of the [fn]ashes of the [fn]burnt [fn]purification from sin and [fn]running water shall be [fn]added to them in a container.

Num 19:18

Num 19:18‘And a clean person shall take hyssop and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, on all the furnishings, on the persons who were there, and on the one who touched the bone or the one who was killed or the one who died naturally, or the grave.

Num 19:19

Num 19:19‘Then the clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and on the seventh day he shall purify him, and he shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and will be clean by evening.

Num 19:20

‘But the person^H376 who^H834 is^H2930 unclean^H2930 and does not purify^H2398 himself, that person^H5315 shall be cut^H3772 off^H3772 from the midst^H8432 of the assembly^H6951, because^H3588 he has defiled^H2930 the sanctuary^H4720 of the LORD^H3068; the water^H4325 for impurity^H5079 has not been sprinkled^H2236 on him, so he is unclean^H2931.

Num 19:21

Num 19:21‘So it shall be a permanent statute for them. And the one who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and the one who touches the water for impurity will be unclean until evening.

Num 19:22

Num 19:22‘Furthermore, anything that the unclean person touches will be unclean; and the person who touches it will be unclean until evening.’”
