Numbers 19:11
Compare all
9 Then a man who is clean shall gather up athe ashes of the heifer, and store them outside the camp in a clean place; and they shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel bfor the water of purification; it is for purifying from sin.  
10 And the one who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening. It shall be a statute forever to the children of Israel and to the stranger who dwells among them.
11 a‘He who touches the dead1 body of anyone shall be unclean seven days.  
12 aHe shall purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day; then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean.  
13 Whoever touches the body of anyone who has died, and adoes not purify himself, bdefiles the tabernacle of the Lord. That person shall be cut off from Israel. He shall be unclean, because cthe water of purification was not sprinkled on him; dhis uncleanness is still on him.  
14 ‘This is the law when a man dies in a tent: All who come into the tent and all who are in the tent shall be unclean seven days;
15 and every aopen vessel, which has no cover fastened on it, is unclean.  
16 aWhoever in the open field touches one who is slain by a sword or who has died, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.  
17 ‘And for an unclean person they shall take some of the aashes of the heifer burnt for purification from sin, and1 running water shall be put on them in a vessel.  
18 A clean person shall take ahyssop and dip it in the water, sprinkle it on the tent, on all the vessels, on the persons who were there, or on the one who touched a bone, the slain, the dead, or a grave.

Numbers

NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
