And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.

Verse 8 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 der sie verbrannt hat, soll auch seine Kleider mit Wasser waschen und seinen Leib in Wasser baden und unrein sein bis an den Abend.
Asimismo el que la quemó, lavará sus vestidos en agua, también lavará en agua su carne, y será inmundo hasta la tarde.
Celui qui aura brûlé la vache lavera ses vêtements dans l'eau, et lavera son corps dans l'eau; et il sera impur jusqu'au soir.
Parimente colui che avrà bruciata la giovenca lavisi i vestimenti, e le carni, con acqua; e sia immondo infino alla sera.
Também o que a queimou lavará as suas vestes com água, e em água banhará a sua carne, e imundo será até à tarde.
焚燒牛的人也要用水洗衣服,用水洗身,必不潔淨到晚上。
