⁹ “Then someone who is clean [^Cin a ritual sense] will collect the ashes from the ·cow [^Theifer] and put them in a clean place outside the camp. The ·Israelites [^Lcommunity/congregation/assembly of the sons/^Tchildren of Israel] will keep these ashes to use in the cleansing water, in a ·special ceremony to cleanse away sin [^Lsin offering; or purification offering; Lev. 4:3]. ¹⁰ The man who collected the ·cow’s [^Theifer’s] ashes must wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. This is a lasting ·rule [statute; ordinance; requirement] ·for the Israelites [^Lin their midst] and for the ·foreigners [resident aliens] among them.

¹¹ “Those who touch a dead person’s body will be unclean [^Cin a ritual sense] for seven days.
