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."
