Numbers 19:9-18
9Now a manH376 who is cleanH2889 shall gatherH622 up the ashesH665 of the heiferH6499 and depositH5117 them outsideH4480H2351 the campH4264 in a cleanH2889 placeH4725, and 1the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall keepH4931 it as 2waterH4325 to remove impurityH5079; it is 3purificationH2403 from sinH2403. 10The one who gathersH622 the ashesH665 of the heiferH6499 4shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and be uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153; and it shall be a perpetualH5769 statuteH2708 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and to the alienH1616 who sojournsH1481 amongH8432 them.
11‘5The one who touchesH5060 the corpseH4191 of anyH3605 6personH5315H120 shall be uncleanH2930 for sevenH7651 daysH3117. 12That oneH1931 shall 7purifyH2398 himself from uncleannessH2398 with 8the water on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, and then he will be cleanH2891; but ifH518 he does not purifyH2398 himself on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, he will not be cleanH2891. 139AnyoneH3605 who touchesH5060 a corpseH4191, the 10bodyH5315 of a manH120 whoH834 has diedH4191, and does not purifyH2398 himself, 11defilesH2930 the 12tabernacleH4908 of the LordH3068; and that personH5315 shall be cutH3772 offH3772 from IsraelH3478. BecauseH3588 the waterH4325 for impurityH5079 was not 1314sprinkledH2236 on him, he shall be uncleanH2931; his uncleannessH2932 is stillH5750 on him.
14‘ThisH2088 is the lawH8451 whenH3588 a manH120 diesH4191 in a tentH168: everyoneH3605 who comesH935 into the tentH168 and everyoneH3605 whoH834 is in the tentH168 shall be uncleanH2930 for sevenH7651 daysH3117. 15EveryH3605 openH6605 vesselH3627, whichH834 hasH369 noH369 coveringH6781 15tiedH6616 downH6616 on it, shall be uncleanH2931. 1616Also, anyoneH3605 whoH834 in the openH6440 fieldH7704 touchesH5060 oneH2491 whoH2491 has been slainH2491 with a swordH2719 orH176 who has diedH4191 naturally, orH176 a humanH120 boneH6106 orH176 a graveH6913, shall be uncleanH2930 for sevenH7651 daysH3117. 17Then for the uncleanH2931 person they shall takeH3947 someH4480 of the 17ashesH6083 of the 18burntH8316 1920purificationH2403 from sinH2403 and 21flowingH2416 waterH4325 shall be 22addedH5414 to them in a vesselH3627. 18A cleanH2889 personH376 shall takeH3947 hyssopH231 and dipH2881 it in the waterH4325, and sprinkleH5137 it on the tentH168 and on allH3605 the furnishingsH3627 and on the personsH5315 whoH834 were thereH8033, and on the one who touchedH5060 the boneH6106 orH176 the oneH2491 slainH2491 orH176 the one dyingH4191 naturally orH176 the graveH6913.
