Numbers 19:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ The priest is to wash his clothes and bathe himself^[a] with water, after which he may enter the camp, but he is to remain unclean until evening. ⁸ Whoever takes part in the burning is to wash his clothes and bathe himself^[b] in water and is to remain unclean until the evening. ⁹ Then someone^[c] who is clean is to gather the ashes of the heifer and lay them outside the camp in a clean place. This is to be done for the community of Israel to use for water of purification from sin.
