New Testament

Numbers 19:6-12 Modern English Version (MEV)

6. And the priest will take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet and throw it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

7. Then the priest will wash his clothes, and he will bathe his body in water, and afterward he will come into the camp, and the priest will be unclean until evening.

8. He who burns it will wash his clothes in water, and bathe his body in water, and will be unclean until evening.

9. A man who is clean will gather the ashes of the heifer and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and it will be guarded for the assembly of the children of Israel for water of purification. It is for purifying from sin.

10. He that gathers the ashes of the heifer will wash his clothes and be unclean until evening, and it will be for the children of Israel and for the foreigner that lives among them, for an eternal statute.

11. He that touches the dead body of any man will be unclean seven days.

12. He will make himself clean on the third day, and on the seventh day he will be clean. But if he does not make himself clean on the third day, then the seventh day he will not be clean.
