Numbers 19:9-18
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. 10The man who has gathered upH622 the ashesH665 of the heiferH6510 must also washH3526 his clothesH899, and he will be ceremonially uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. ThisH1961 is a permanentH5769 statuteH2708 for the IsraelitesH1121H3478 and for the foreignerH1616 residingH1481 among themH8432.
11Whoever touchesH5060 anyH3605 deadH4191 bodyH120H5315 will be uncleanH2930 for sevenH7651 daysH3117. 12HeH1931 must purify himselfH2398 with the water on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117; then he will be cleanH2891. But ifH518 he does notH3808 purify himselfH2398 on the thirdH7992H3117 and seventhH7637 daysH3117, he will notH3808 be cleanH2891. 13AnyoneH3605 who touchesH5060 a humanH120 corpseH4191H5315 and failsH3808 to purifyH2398 himselfH853 defilesH2930 the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068. ThatH1931 personH5315 must be cut offH3772 from IsraelH3478. He remainsH1961 uncleanH2931, becauseH3588 the waterH4325 of purificationH5079 has notH3808 been sprinkledH2236 on himH5921, and his uncleannessH2932 is still on himH5750.
14ThisH2063 is the lawH8451 whenH3588 a personH120 diesH4191 in a tentH168: EveryoneH3605 who entersH935H413 the tentH168 and everyoneH3605 already in the tentH168 will be uncleanH2930 for sevenH7651 daysH3117, 15and anyH3605 openH6605 containerH3627 withoutH369 a lidH6781 fastenedH6616 on itH5921 is uncleanH2931H1931.
16AnyoneH3605 inH5921 the open fieldH6440H7704 whoH834 touchesH5060 someone who has been killedH2491 by the swordH2719 orH176 has died of natural causesH4191, orH176 anyone who touches a humanH120 boneH6106 orH176 a graveH6913, will be uncleanH2930 for sevenH7651 daysH3117.
17For the purification of the unclean personH2931, takeH3947 some of the ashesH6083 of the burntH8316 sin offeringH2403, put themH5414 inH413 a jarH3627, and pour freshH2416 waterH43251 over themH5921. 18Then a manH376 who is ceremonially cleanH2889 is to takeH3947 some hyssopH231, dipH2881 it in the waterH4325, and sprinkleH5137H5921 the tentH168H5921, allH3605 the furnishingsH3627H5921, and the peopleH5315 whoH834 wereH1961 thereH8033H5921. He is also to sprinkle the one who touchedH5060 a boneH6106, a graveH6913, or a person who has diedH4191H176 orH176 been slainH2491H176.
