⁹ Then a man who is clean shall gather up ^(A)the ashes of the heifer, and store them outside the camp in a clean place; and they shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel ^(B)for the water of ^[a]purification; it is for purifying from sin.

¹⁷ ‘And for an unclean person they shall take some of the ^(A)ashes of the heifer burnt for purification from sin, and ^[a]running water shall be put on them in a vessel.
