Numbers 19:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ After that, he is to wash his clothes and pour water over himself, and then he may enter the camp; but he remains ritually unclean until evening. ⁸ The one who burned the cow must also wash his clothes and pour water over himself, but he also remains unclean until evening. ^9 (A)Then someone who is ritually clean is to collect the ashes of the cow and put them in a ritually clean place outside the camp, where they are to be kept for the Israelite community to use in preparing the water for removing ritual uncleanness. This ritual is performed to remove sin.
