for it is your reward in return for your service in the
tent of meeting.
018:032 You shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved
from it the best of it: and you shall not profane the holy
things of the children of Israel, that you not die.
019:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
019:002 This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded,
saying, Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring
you a red heifer without spot, in which is no blemish,
[and] on which never came yoke.
019:003 You shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring
her forth outside of the camp, and one shall kill her
before his face:
019:004 and Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger,
and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the tent of
meeting seven times.
019:005 One shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh,
and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
019:006 and the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet,
and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
019:007 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe
his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp,
and the priest shall be unclean until the even.
019:008 He who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe

and be unclean until the even: and it shall be to the children
of Israel, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner
among them, for a statute forever.
019:011 He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days:
019:012 the same shall purify himself therewith on the third day,
and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he doesn't
purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall
not be clean.
019:013 Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died,
and doesn't purify himself, defiles the tent of Yahweh;
and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water
for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean;
his uncleanness is yet on him.
019:014 This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes
into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be
unclean seven days.
019:015 Every open vessel, which has no covering bound on it, is unclean.
019:016 Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a sword,
or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be
