Chapter 19
- 19:1
- And the
LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
- 19:2
- This is
the ordinance of the law which the LORD 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:
- 19:3
- 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:
- 19:4
- 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:
- 19:5
- And one
shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her
blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
- 19:6
- And the
priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it
into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
- 19:7
- 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.
- 19:8
- And he
that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh
in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
- 19:9
- 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.
- 19:10
- And he
that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel,
and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for
ever.
- 19:11
- He that
toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
- 19:12
- He shall
purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he
shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the
seventh day he shall not be clean.
- 19:13
- Whosoever
toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not
himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be
cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled
upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
- 19:14
- This is
the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and
all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
- 19:15
- And every
open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
- 19:16
- And
whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields,
or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven
days.
- 19:17
- And for
an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of
purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a
vessel:
- 19:18
- And a
clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle
it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that
were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one
dead, or a grave:
- 19:19
- And the
clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on
the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at
even.
- 19:20
- But the
man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul
shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled
the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been
sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
- 19:21
- And it
shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the
water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the
water of separation shall be unclean until even.
- 19:22
- And
whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul
that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
