The Koine Bible

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying

This is the ordinance of the law, all that the Lord commanded, saying: Speak to the sons of Israel, and let them take to you a red heifer, without blemish, which has no blemish in it, and on which a yoke has not been laid upon it.

And you shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and they shall bring it out outside the camp to a clean place, and they shall slaughter it before him.

And Eleazar shall take from her blood and shall sprinkle before the face of the tent of the testimony from her blood seven times

And they shall burn it up before him, and its skin and its flesh and its blood, with its dung, shall be burned up.

And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet, and they shall cast them into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

And the priest shall wash his garments and shall bathe his body in water, and after these things he shall enter into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until evening.

And the one burning it shall wash his clothes, and he shall wash his body, and he shall be unclean until evening.

And a clean man shall gather the ashes of the heifer and shall deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and it shall be for the congregation of the sons of Israel for preservation, water of sprinkling; it is purification.

And he who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and he shall be unclean until evening; and it shall be to the sons of Israel and to the sojourners who have joined themselves, a perpetual ordinance.

The one touching the dead body of any human person shall be unclean seven days.

He shall be purified on the third day and on the seventh day, and he shall be clean; but if he is not purified on the third day and on the seventh day, he shall not be clean.

Everyone who touches the dead body of a person, if he dies and is not purified, has defiled the tent of the Lord; that soul shall be cut off from Israel, because the water of sprinkling was not sprinkled on him; he is still unclean, his uncleanness is in him.

And this is the law: if a man should die in a house, everyone who enters into the house and all that is in the house shall be unclean for seven days.

And every open vessel, as many as has not a binding tied down on it, is unclean.

And everyone who touches on the face of the field one pierced or dead or a human bone or a grave shall be unclean for seven days.

And they shall take for the unclean man from the ashes of the burnt purification, and they shall pour upon it living water into a vessel

And he shall take hyssop, and a clean man shall dip it in the water and shall sprinkle on the house and on the vessels and on the persons who may be there, and on the one who touched the bone of a human being, or of the slain, or of the dead, or of the grave.

And the clean man shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day, and he shall be purified on the seventh day, and he shall wash his garments and bathe with water, and he shall be unclean until evening.

And a man who may be defiled and not be purified, that soul shall be utterly cut off from the midst of the congregation, because he defiled the holy things of the Lord; because the water of sprinkling was not sprinkled on him, he is unclean.

And it shall be for you an everlasting statute; and he who sprinkles the water of sprinkling shall wash his garments, and he who touches the water of sprinkling shall be unclean until evening

And whatever the unclean one touches of it shall be unclean, and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until evening.
