Bemiḏbar (Numbers) 19:2, 4-8, 11-12, 18-19 TS2009
[2] “This is a law of the Torah which יהוה has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they bring you a red heifer, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish and on which a yoke has never come.
[4] And El‛azar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and sprinkle some of its blood seven times toward the front of the Tent of Appointment. [5] And the heifer shall be burned before his eyes – he burns its hide, and its flesh, and its blood, and its dung. [6] And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet, and throw them into the midst of the fire burning the heifer. [7] The priest shall then wash his garments, and shall bathe his body in water, and afterward come into the camp, but the priest is unclean until evening. [8] And he who is burning it washes his garments in water, and shall bathe his body in water, and is unclean until evening.
[11] He who touches the dead of any human being is unclean for seven days. [12] He is to cleanse himself with the water on the third day, and on the seventh day he is clean. But if he does not cleanse himself on the third day, then on the seventh day he is not clean.
[18] And a clean man shall take hyssop and dip it in the water, and shall sprinkle it on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the beings who were there, or on the one who touched a bone, or the slain, or the dead, or a burial-site. [19] And the clean one shall sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day. And on the seventh day he shall cleanse himself, and shall wash his garments and bathe in water, and shall be clean in the evening.
