Numbers 19:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ The man who collected the cow’s ashes must wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. This is a lasting rule for the Israelites and for the foreigners among them.

¹¹ “Those who touch a dead person’s body will be unclean for seven days. ¹² They must wash themselves with the cleansing water on the third day and on the seventh day; then they will be clean. But if they do not wash themselves on the third day and the seventh day, they cannot be clean.
