6Then let the priest take cedar-wood and hyssop and red thread, and put them into the fire where the cow is burning.
7And the priest, after washing his clothing and bathing his body in water, may come back to the tent-circle, and will be unclean till evening.
8And he who does the burning is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.
9Then let a man who is clean take the dust of the burned cow and put it outside the tent-circle in a clean place, where it is to be kept for the children of Israel and used in making the water which takes away what is unclean: it is a sin-offering.
10And he who takes up the dust of the burned cow is to have his clothing washed with water and be unclean till evening: this is to be a law for ever, for the children of Israel as well as for the man from another country who is living among them.
11Anyone touching a dead body will be unclean for seven days:
12On the third day and on the seventh day he is to make himself clean with the water, and so he will be clean: but if he does not do this on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean.
