Numbers / Bamidbar 19:1	And G-d said to Moses and Aaron:	וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וְאֶל־אַהֲרֹן לֵאמֹר׃
19:2	This is the statute of the Torah, which G-d decreed by saying “Tell the Children of Israel to bring you an unblemished red cow, which has no flaw, which has never borne a burden (e.g. been harnessed)	זֹאת חֻקַּת הַתּוֹרָה אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּה יְהֹוָה לֵאמֹר דַּבֵּר  אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְיִקְחוּ אֵלֶיךָ פָרָה אֲדֻמָּה תְּמִימָה אֲשֶׁר אֵין־בָּהּ מוּם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־עָלָה עָלֶיהָ עֹל׃
19:3	Give it to Eliezer the Cohen, who will take it outside of the camp and slaughter it.	וּנְתַתֶּם אֹתָהּ אֶל־אֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן וְהוֹצִיא אֹתָהּ אֶל־מִחוּץ לַמַּחֲנֶה וְשָׁחַט אֹתָהּ לְפָנָיו׃
19:5	And he will burn the cow completely, including the skin, the meat, the blood, and the dung.	וְשָׂרַף אֶת־הַפָּרָה לְעֵינָיו אֶת־עֹרָהּ וְאֶת־בְּשָׂרָהּ וְאֶת־דָּמָהּ עַל־פִּרְשָׁהּ יִשְׂרֹף׃
19:9	And a (ritually pure) man will take the ashes of the cow, and will put them in a ritually pure place outside of the camp.  And they shall be kept for ritual cleansing from ritual impurity for the congregation of the children of Israel.	וְאָסַף  אִישׁ טָהוֹר אֵת אֵפֶר הַפָּרָה וְהִנִּיחַ מִחוּץ לַמַּחֲנֶה בְּמָקוֹם טָהוֹר וְהָיְתָה לַעֲדַת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל לְמִשְׁמֶרֶת לְמֵי נִדָּה חַטָּאת הִוא׃
19:11	One who touches a corpse will be impure for seven days.	הַנֹּגֵעַ בְּמֵת לְכׇל־נֶפֶשׁ אָדָם וְטָמֵא שִׁבְעַת יָמִים׃
19:12	He will be cleansed with it (the ashes) on the third day, and on the seventh day he will be purified.  …	הוּא יִתְחַטָּא־בוֹ בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי יִטְהָר …׃
19:16	And anyone who touches the body of one who fell to the sword in the field, or who touches a body, or the bone of a person, or a grave, will be ritually impure for seven days.	וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יִגַּע עַל־פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה בַּחֲלַל־חֶרֶב אוֹ בְמֵת אוֹ־בְעֶצֶם אָדָם אוֹ בְקָבֶר יִטְמָא שִׁבְעַת יָמִים׃
19:21	This statute will be binding upon you forever.	וְהָיְתָה לָהֶם לְחֻקַּת …׃
