19:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron,
saying,
19:2 This is the constitution of the law, as the Lord has commanded, saying,
Speak to the sons of Israel, and let them take for thee a red heifer without
spot, which has no spot on her, and on which no yoke has been put.
19:3 And thou shalt give her to Eleazar the priest; and they shall bring her
out of the camp into a clean place, and shall kill her before his face.
19:4 And Eleazar shall take of her blood, and sprinkle of her blood seven
times in front of the tabernacle of witness.
19:5 And they shall burn her to ashes before him; and her skin and her flesh
and her blood, with her dung, shall be consumed.
19:6 And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet wool, and
they shall cast them into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
19:7 And the priest shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water,
and afterwards he shall go into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean
till evening.
19:8 And he that burns her shall wash his garments, and bathe his body, and
shall be unclean till evening.
19:9 And a clean man shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them
up in a clean place outside the camp; and they shall be for the congregation
of the children of Israel to keep: it is the water of sprinkling, a
purification.
19:10 And he that gathers up the ashes of the heifer shall wash his
garments, and shall be unclean until evening; and it shall be a perpetual
statute for the children of Israel and for the strangers joined to them.
19:11 He that touches the dead body of any man, shall be unclean seven days.
19:12 He shall be purified on the third day and the seventh day, and shall
be clean; but if he be not purged on the third day and the seventh day, he
shall not be clean.
19:13 Every one that touches the carcase of the person of a man, if he
should have died, and [the other] not have been purified, has defiled the
tabernacle of the Lord: that soul shall be cut off from Israel, because the
water of sprinkling has not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean; his
uncleanness is yet upon him.
19:14 And this [is] the law; if a man die in a house, every one that goes
into the house, and all things in the house, shall be unclean seven days.
19:15 And every open vessel which has not a covering bound upon it, shall be
unclean.
19:16 And every one who shall touch a man slain by violence, or a corpse, or
human bone, or sepulchre, shall be unclean seven days.
19:17 And they shall take for the unclean of the burnt ashes of
purification, and they shall pour upon them running water into a vessel.
19:18 And a clean man shall take hyssop, and dip it into the water, and
sprinkle it upon the house, and the furniture, and all the souls that are
therein, and upon him that touched the human bone, or the slain man, or the
corpse, or the tomb.
19:19 And the clean man shall sprinkle [the water] on the unclean on the
third day and on the seventh day, and on the seventh day he shall purify
himself; and [the other] shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in
water, and shall be unclean until evening.
19:20 And whatever man shall be defiled and shall not purify himself, that
soul shall be cut off from the midst of the congregation, because he has
defiled the holy things of the Lord, because the water of sprinkling has not
been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
19:21 And it shall be to you a perpetual statute; and he that sprinkles the
water of sprinkling shall wash his garments; and he that touches the water
of sprinkling shall be unclean until evening. 19:22 And whatsoever the
unclean man shall touch shall be unclean, and the soul that touches it shall
be unclean till evening. |
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. |
