[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, [2] “This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded. Tell the children of Israel to bring you a red heifer without spot, in which is no defect, and which was never yoked. [3] You shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her outside of the camp, and one shall kill her before his face. [4] Eleazar the priest shall take some of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the Tent of Meeting seven times. [5] One shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her meat, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn. [6] The priest shall take cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the middle of the burning of the heifer. [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 evening. [8] He who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening. [9] “A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside of the camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for use in water for cleansing impurity. It is a sin offering. [10] He who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. It shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them, for a statute forever. [11] “He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days. [12] He shall purify himself with water on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean; but if he doesn’t purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean. [13] Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and doesn’t purify himself, defiles Yahweh’s tabernacle; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean. His uncleanness is yet on him. [14] “This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days. [15] Every open vessel, which has no covering bound on it, is unclean. [16] “Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. [17] “For the unclean, they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin offering; and running water shall be poured on them in a vessel. [18] A clean person shall take hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, on all the vessels, on the persons who were there, and on him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave. [19] The clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day. On the seventh day, he shall purify him. He shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening. [20] But the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of Yahweh. The water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him. He is unclean. [21] It shall be a perpetual statute to them. He who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until evening. [22] “Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until evening.”

The Red Heifer
[1] And the Lord H3068 spake H1696 (PielImpf) unto Moses H4872 and unto Aaron, H175 saying, H559 (QalInf) [2] This is the ordinance H2708 of the law H8451 which the Lord H3068 hath commanded, H6680 (PielPerf) saying, H559 (QalInf) Speak H1696 (PielImpv) unto the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 that they bring H3947 (QalImpf) thee a red H122 heifer H6510 without spot, H8549 wherein is no blemish, H3971 and upon which never H3808 came H5927 (QalPerf) yoke: H5923 [3] and ye shall give H5414 (QalPerf) her unto Eleazar H499 the priest, H3548 that he may bring her forth H3318 (HiphPerf) without H2351 the camp, H4264 and one shall slay H7819 (QalPerf) her before H6440 his face: [4] and Eleazar H499 the priest H3548 shall take H3947 (QalPerf) of her blood H1818 with his finger, H676 and sprinkle H5137 (HiphPerf) of her blood H1818 directly H5227 before H6440 the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 seven H7651 times: H6471 [5] and one shall burn H8313 (QalPerf) the heifer H6510 in his sight; H5869 her skin, H5785 and her flesh, H1320 and her blood, H1818 with her dung, H6569 shall he burn: H8313 (QalImpf) [6] and the priest H3548 shall take H3947 (QalPerf) cedar H730 wood, H6086 and hyssop, H231 and scarlet, H8438 and cast H7993 (HiphPerf) it into the midst H8432 of the burning H8316 of the heifer. H6510 [7] Then the priest H3548 shall wash H3526 (PielPerf) his clothes, H899 and he shall bathe H7364 (QalPerf) his flesh H1320 in water, H4325 and afterward H310 he shall come H935 (QalImpf) into the camp, H4264 and the priest H3548 shall be unclean H2930 (QalPerf) until the even. H6153 [8] And he that burneth H8313 (QalActPtc) her shall wash H3526 (PielImpf) his clothes H899 in water, H4325 and bathe H7364 (QalPerf) his flesh H1320 in water, H4325 and shall be unclean H2930 (QalPerf) until the even. H6153 [9] And a man H376 that is clean H2889 shall gather H622 (QalPerf) up the ashes H665 of the heifer, H6510 and lay them up H3240 (HiphPerf) without H2351 the camp H4264 in a clean H2889 place, H4725 and it shall be kept H4931 for the congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 for a water H4325 of separation: H5079 it is a purification for sin. H2403 [10] And he that gathereth H622 (QalActPtc) the ashes H665 of the heifer H6510 shall wash H3526 (PielPerf) his clothes, H899 and be unclean H2930 (QalPerf) until the even: H6153 and it shall be unto the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and unto the stranger H1616 that sojourneth H1481 (QalActPtc) among H8432 them, for a statute H2708 for ever.

[14] This is the law, H8451 when a man H120 dieth H4191 (QalImpf) in a tent: H168 all that come H935 (QalActPtc) into the tent, H168 and all that is in the tent, H168 shall be unclean H2930 (QalImpf) seven H7651 days.

H2931 [21] And it shall be a perpetual H5769 statute H2708 unto them, that he that sprinkleth H5137 (HiphPtc) the water H4325 of separation H5079 shall wash H3526 (PielImpf) his clothes; H899 and he that toucheth H5060 (QalActPtc) the water H4325 of separation H5079 shall be unclean H2930 (QalImpf) until even.
