<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;So this will be a perpetual ordinance for them: The one who sprinkles<n id="1" /> the water of purification must wash his clothes, and the one who touches the water of purification will be unclean until evening.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;Then a man who is ceremonially clean must gather up the ashes of the red heifer and put them in a ceremonially clean place outside the camp. They must be kept<n id="1" /> for the community of the Israelites for use in the water of purification<n id="2" /> &#8211; it is a purification for sin.<n id="3" />

Anyone who touches the corpse of any dead person and does not purify himself defiles the tabernacle of the <sc>Lordsc>. And that person must be cut off from Israel,<n id="1" /> because the water of purification was not sprinkled on him. He will be unclean; his uncleanness remains on him.p>

But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself, that person must be cut off from among the community, because he has polluted the sanctuary of the <sc>Lordsc>; the water of purification was not sprinkled on him, so he is unclean.p>

everything that may stand the fire, you are to pass through the fire,<n id="1" /> and it will be ceremonially clean, but it must still be purified with the water of purification. Anything that cannot withstand the fire you must pass through the water.
