Chapter 19

1Hashem spoke to Moshe and Aharon, saying:

va-y'-da-BAYR a-do-NAI el mo-SHEH v'-el a-ha-RON lay-MOR

אוַיְדַבֵּ֣ר יְהֹוָ֔ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֥ה וְאֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֖ן לֵאמֹֽר׃

2This is the ritual law that Hashem has commanded: Instruct B'nei Yisrael to bring you a red cow without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which no yoke has been laid.

9A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the cow and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, to be kept for water of lustration for the Israelite community. It is for cleansing.

13Whoever touches a corpse, the body of a person who has died, and does not cleanse himself, defiles Hashem's Mishkan; that person shall be cut off from Yisrael. Since the water of lustration was not dashed on him, he remains unclean; his uncleanness is still upon him.
