Now a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and [a]the congregation of the sons of Israel shall keep it as (A)water to remove impurity; it is [b]purification from sin. 10 The one who gathers the ashes of the heifer (B)shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening; and it shall be a perpetual statute to the sons of Israel and to the alien who sojourns among them.

11 (C)The one who touches the corpse of any [c]person shall be unclean for seven days.
