The one who burns [a]the heifer shall also wash his clothes in water and bathe his [b]body in water, and will be unclean until evening. Now a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and put them outside the camp in a clean place, and [c]the congregation of the sons of Israel shall keep them for (A)water to remove impurity; it is [d]purification from sin. 10 And the one who gathers the ashes of the heifer (B)shall wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening; and it shall be a permanent statute for the sons of Israel and for the stranger who resides among them.
