Numbers 19

Here in this chapter we read of the water of purification. It will be used in cases when defilement through contact with the dead takes place.

The first part of the chapter tells us how this water of purification was prepared. A red heifer was to be sacrificed and burned. Its ashes will be mixed with water. The second part of the chapter tells us about the use and application of the water on certain persons who had defiled themselves through contact with a dead body.
