Numbers 19:1-10
1599 Geneva Bible
19 2 The sacrifice of the red cow. 9 The sprinkling water. 11 He that toucheth the dead. 14 The man that dieth in a tent.
1 And the Lord spake to Moses, and to Aaron, saying,
2 [a]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 cow without blemish, wherein is no spot, upon the which never came yoke.
3 And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the Priest, that he may bring her (A)without the host, and cause her to [b]be slain before his face.
4 Then shall Eleazar the Priest take of her blood with his (B)finger, and sprinkle it before the Tabernacle of the Congregation seven times,
5 And cause the cow to be burnt in his sight: with her (C)skin, and her flesh, and her blood, and her dung shall he burn her.
6 Then shall the Priest take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet lace, and cast them in the midst of the fire where the cow burneth.
7 Then shall the [c]Priest wash his clothes, and he shall wash his flesh in water, and then come into the host, and the Priest shall be unclean unto the even.
8 Also he that [d]burneth her, shall wash his clothes in water, and wash his flesh in water, and be unclean until even.
9 And a man, that is clean, shall take up the ashes of the cow, and put them without the host in a clean place: and it shall be kept for the Congregation of the children of Israel for [e]a sprinkling water: it is a sin offering.
10 Therefore he that gathereth the ashes of the cow, shall wash his clothes, and remain unclean until even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that dwelleth among them, a statute forever.
