Liber Numeri 19
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:
And the Lord spake to Moses, and to Aaron, saying,
2 Ista est religio victimae, quam constituit Dominus. Praecipe filiis Israel, ut adducant ad te vaccam rufam aetatis integrae, in qua nulla sit macula, nec portaverit iugum:
This is the ordinance of the lawe, which the Lord hath commanded, saying, Speake vnto the children of Israel that they bring thee a red kow without blemish, wherein is no spot, vpon the which neuer came yoke.
3 tradetisque eam Eleazaro sacerdoti. qui eductam extra castra, immolabit in conspectu omnium:
And ye shall giue her vnto Eleazar ye Priest, that hee may bring her without the hoste, and cause her to be slaine before his face.
4 et tingens digitum in sanguine eius, asperget contra fores tabernaculi septem vicibus,
Then shall Eleazar the Priest take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle it before the Tabernacle of the Congregation seuen times,
5 comburetque eam cunctis videntibus, tam pelle et carnibus eius quam sanguine et fimo flammae traditis.
And cause the kow to be burnt in his sight: with her skinne, and her flesh, and her blood, and her doung shall he burne her.
6 Lignum quoque cedrinum, et hyssopum, coccumque bis tinctum sacerdos mittet in flammam, quae vaccam vorat.
Then shall the Priest take cedar wood, and hyssope and skarlet lace, and cast them in the mids of the fire where the kow burneth.
7 Et tunc demum, lotis vestibus et corpore suo, ingredietur in castra, commaculatusque erit usque ad vesperum.
Then shall the Priest wash his clothes, and he shall wash his flesh in water, and then come into the hoste, and the Priest shalbe vncleane vnto the euen.
8 Sed et ille, qui combusserit eam, lavabit vestimenta sua, et corpus, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum.
Also he that burneth her, shall wash his clothes in water, and wash his flesh in water, and be vncleane vntill euen.
9 Colliget autem vir mundus cineres vaccae, et effundet eos extra castra in loco purissimo, ut sint multitudini filiorum Israel in custodiam, et in aquam aspersionis: quia pro peccato vacca combusta est.
And a man, that is cleane, shall take vp the ashes of the kow, and put them without the hoste in a cleane place: and it shalbe kept for the Congregation of the children of Israel for a sprinkling water: it is a sinne offring.
10 Cumque laverit qui vaccae portaverat cineres, vestimenta sua, immundus erit usque ad vesperum. Habebunt hoc filii Israel et advenae, qui habitant inter eos, sanctum iure perpetuo.
Therefore he that gathereth the ashes of the kow, shall wash his clothes, and remaine vncleane vntil euen: and it shalbe vnto the children of Israel, and vnto the stranger that dwelleth among them, a statute for euer.
11 Qui tetigerit cadaver hominis, et propter hoc septem diebus fuerit immundus:
Hee that toucheth the dead body of any man, shalbe vncleane euen seuen dayes.
12 aspergetur ex hac aqua die tertio et septimo, et sic mundabitur. Si die tertio aspersus non fuerit, septimo non poterit emundari.
Hee shall purifie himselfe therewith the third day, and the seuenth day he shall be cleane: but if he purifie not himselfe the thirde day, then the seuenth day he shall not be cleane.
13 Omnis qui tetigerit humanae animae morticinum, et aspersus hac commistione non fuerit, polluet tabernaculum Domini, et peribit ex Israel: quia aqua expiationis non est aspersus, immundus erit, et manebit spurcitia eius super eum.
Whosoeuer toucheth ye corps of any man that is dead, and purgeth not himselfe, defileth the Tabernacle of the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from Israel, because the sprinkling water was not sprinkled vpon him: he shall be vncleane, and his vncleannesse shall remaine still vpon him.
14 Ista est lex hominis qui moritur in tabernaculo: Omnes qui ingrediuntur tentorium illius, et universa vasa quae ibi sunt, polluta erunt septem diebus.
This is the law, Whe a man dieth in a tent, all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shalbe vncleane seuen dayes,
15 Vas, quod non habuerit operculum, nec ligaturam desuper, immundum erit.
And all the vessels that bee open, which haue no couering fastened vpon them, shall be vncleane.
16 Si quis in agro tetigerit cadaver occisi hominis, aut per se mortui, sive os illius, vel sepulchrum, immundus erit septem diebus.
Also whosoeuer toucheth one that is slaine with a sworde in the fielde, or a dead person, or a bone of a dead man, or a graue, shall be vncleane seuen dayes.
17 Tollentque de cineribus combustionis atque peccati, et mittent aquas vivas super eos in vas.
Therfore for an vncleane person they shall take of the burnt ashes of the sinne offring, and pure water shalbe put thereto in a vessel.
18 in quibus cum homo mundus tinxerit hyssopum, asperget ex eo omne tentorium, et cunctam supellectilem, et homines huiuscemodi contagione pollutos:
And a cleane person shall take hyssope and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it vpon the tent, and vpon all the vessels, and on the persons that were therein, and vpon him that touched ye bone, or the slayne, or the dead, or the graue.
19 atque hoc modo mundus lustrabit immundum tertio et septimo die. expiatusque die septimo, lavabit et se et vestimenta sua, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum.
And the cleane person shall sprinkle vpon the vncleane the third day, and the seuenth day, and hee shall purifie him selfe the seuenth day, and wash his clothes, and wash himself in water, and shalbe cleane at euen.
20 Si quis hoc ritu non fuerit expiatus, peribit anima illius de medio Ecclesiae: quia sanctuarium Domini polluit, et non est aqua lustrationis aspersus.
But the man that is vncleane and purifieth not himselfe, that person shalbe cut off from among the Congregation, because hee hath defiled the Sanctuarie of the Lord: and the sprinkling water hath not bene sprinkled vpon him: therefore shall he be vncleane.
21 erit hoc praeceptum legitimum sempiternum. Ipse quoque qui aspergit aquas, lavabit vestimenta sua: Omnis qui tetigerit aquas expiationis, immundus erit usque ad vesperum.
And it shalbe a perpetual lawe vnto them, that he that sprinkleth the sprinkling water, shall wash his clothes: also hee that toucheth the sprinkling water, shalbe vncleane vntill euen.
22 Quidquid tetigerit immundus, immundum faciet: et anima, quae horum quippiam tetigerit, immunda erit usque ad vesperum.
And whatsoeuer the vncleane person toucheth, shall be vncleane: and the person that toucheth him, shalbe vncleane vntill the euen.
