Numbers 19:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ And when he that carried the ashes of the cow, hath washed his garments, he shall be unclean until the evening. The children of Israel, and the strangers that dwell among them, shall observe this for a holy thing by a perpetual ordinance.

¹¹ He that toucheth the corpse of a man, and is therefore unclean seven days,

¹² Shall be sprinkled with this water on the third day, and on the seventh, and so shall be cleansed. If he were not sprinkled on the third day, he cannot be cleansed on the seventh.
