2“ThisH2063 is the statuteH2708 of the lawH8451 thatH834 the LORDH3068H559 has commandedH6680: InstructH1696H413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 to bringH3947 youH413 an unblemishedH8549 redH122 heiferH6510 thatH834 has noH369 defectH3971 and has neverH3808 been placedH5927 under a yokeH5923. 3GiveH5414 it toH413 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and he will have it broughtH3318 outsideH2351 the campH4264 and slaughteredH7819 in his presenceH6440.

4EleazarH499 the priestH3548 is to takeH3947 some of its bloodH1818 on his fingerH676 and sprinkleH5137 it sevenH7651 timesH6471 towardH413H5227 the frontH6440 of the TentH168 of MeetingH4150. 5Then the heiferH6510 must be burnedH8313 in his sightH5869. Its hideH5785, its fleshH1320, and its bloodH1818 are to be burnedH8313, along withH5921 its dungH6569. 6The priestH3548 is to takeH3947 cedarH730 woodH6086, hyssopH231, and scarlet woolH8144H8438 and throwH7993 themH413 ontoH8432 the burningH8316 heiferH6510.

7Then the priestH3548 must washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 his bodyH1320 in waterH4325; after thatH310 he may enterH935H413 the campH4264, but heH3548 will be ceremonially uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 8The one who burnedH8313 the heifer must also washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 his bodyH1320H4325 in waterH4325, and he too will be ceremonially uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153.

9Then a manH376 who is ceremonially cleanH2889 is to gather upH622 the ashesH665 of the heiferH6510 and storeH5117 them in a ceremonially cleanH2889 placeH4725 outsideH2351 the campH4264. They must beH1961 keptH4931 by the congregationH5712H1121 of IsraelH3478 for preparing the waterH4325 of purificationH5079; thisH1931 is for purification from sinH2403.
