Primary Verses:

Numbers 19:1-9
-
"And YHVH spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron, saying, This is the ordinance of the
law which YHVH hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the
children of Israel, that they bring thee a
red heifer without
spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came
yoke: And ye shall give her unto
Eleazar the priest, that he may
bring her forth
without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his
finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the
tabernacle of the congregation seven times: And
one shall burn the
heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her
blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and
scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of
the heifer. Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and
he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he
shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be
unclean until the even. And he that burneth her shall
wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water,
and shall be unclean until the even. And a man that is
clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay
them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall
be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel
for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin. "
