Numbers 19:3-9 ▼

3 You shall give it to the priest Eleazar, and it shall be taken outside the camp and slaughtered in his presence.

4 The priest Eleazar shall take some of its blood with his finger and sprinkle it seven times towards the front of the tent of meeting.

5 Then the heifer shall be burned in his sight; its skin, its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall be burned.

6 The priest shall take cedarwood, hyssop, and crimson material, and throw them into the fire in which the heifer is burning.

7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and afterwards he may come into the camp; but the priest shall remain unclean until evening.

8 The one who burns the heifer shall wash his clothes in water and bathe his body in water; he shall remain unclean until evening.

9 Then someone who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place; and they shall be kept for the congregation of the Israelites for the water for cleansing. It is a purification offering.
