And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 19 of Numbers. The law of the red heifer establishes a procedure for producing purification water for those who have come into contact with a dead person. The ceremony contains a ritual paradox: those involved in preparing the purifying agent temporarily become unclean. The passage demonstrates the complexity of Israel’s purity system and its concern for preserving the holiness of the camp around the sanctuary.

Und derselbe, der die Asche der Kuh aufgerafft hat, soll seine Kleider waschen und unrein sein bis an den Abend. Dies soll ein ewiges Recht sein den Kindern Israel und den Fremdlingen, die unter euch wohnen.
Y el que recogió las cenizas de la vaca, lavará sus vestidos, y será inmundo hasta la tarde: y será a los hijos de Israel, y al extranjero que peregrina entre ellos, por estatuto perpetuo.
El que recoja las cenizas de la vaca lavará sus ropas y quedará impuro hasta el atardecer. Será estatuto perpetuo para los hijos de Israel y para el extranjero que resida entre ellos.
Celui qui aura recueilli la cendre de la vache lavera ses vêtements, et sera impur jusqu'au soir. Ce sera une loi perpétuelle pour les enfants d'Israël et pour l'étranger en séjour au milieu d'eux.
E lavisi colui che avrà raccolta la cenere della giovenca i vestimenti, e sia immondo infino alla sera. E sia questo uno statuto perpetuo a’ figliuoli d’Israele, e al forestiere che dimorerà fra loro
E o que apanhou a cinza da novilha lavará as suas vestes, e será imundo até à tarde; isto será por estatuto perpétuo aos filhos de Israel e ao estrangeiro que peregrina no meio deles.
收取母牛灰的人要洗衣服,必不潔淨到晚上。這要成為 以色列 人和寄居在他們中間的外人永遠的定例。
