Verse 7 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 soll seine Kleider waschen und seinen Leib mit Wasser baden und darnach ins Lager gehen und unrein sein bis an den Abend.

Le sacrificateur lavera ses vêtements, et lavera son corps dans l'eau; puis il rentrera dans le camp, et sera impur jusqu'au soir.
Appresso lavisi il Sacerdote i vestimenti, e le carni, con acqua; e poi rientri nel campo, e sia immondo infino alla sera.
Então o sacerdote lavará as suas vestes, e banhará a sua carne na água, e depois entrará no arraial; e o sacerdote será imundo até à tarde.
