19 Then Yahweh told Mosheh and Aharon, 2 “This is a new law that Yahweh has commanded, ‘Tell the Israelis that they must bring you an unblemished red heifer with no defects and that has never had a yoke on its neck. 3 Give it to the priest Eleazar, and he must take it outside the camp and have someone slaughter it in front of him. 4 Then Eleazar must get some of its blood with his finger seven times and flick it onto the ground directly in front of the sacred tent. 5 Then while he watches, they must completely burn the heifer—its skin and flesh, and including its blood and dung. 6 Meanwhile, the priest must take some cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet wool, and throw them into the fire where the cow is burning. 7 Then the priest must wash his clothes and bathe. After that, he can return to the camp, but he’ll be ‘unclean’ until that evening. 8 The man who burnt the cow must also wash his clothes and bathe, and he will also be ‘unclean’ until that evening. 9 A ‘clean’ man must collect the cow’s ashes and place them in a sacred place outside the camp where they can be used for water for purification for the Israelis to purify from disobedience. 10 Then that man who collected the ashes must also wash his clothes and be ‘unclean’ until that evening. Those regulations will permanently apply both to Israelis and to foreigners living among them.
