1 El Señor dijo a Moisés y a Aarón:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 «Esta es una ley que el Señor ha establecido: Ordenen a los israelitas que les traigan una vaca roja sin defecto, que no tenga ninguna imperfección y sobre la cual nunca se haya puesto un yugo.
2 “This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded. Tell the children of Israel to bring you a red heifer without spot, in which is no defect, and which was never yoked.
3 Entréguenla al sacerdote Eleazar. Él hará que la saquen fuera del campamento y la maten delante de él.
3 You shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her outside of the camp, and one shall kill her before his face.
4 El sacerdote Eleazar tomará con su dedo un poco de su sangre y la rociará siete veces en dirección a la entrada de la Tienda de reunión.
4 Eleazar the priest shall take some of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the Tent of Meeting seven times.
5 Luego quemarán la vaca delante de él. Quemarán su piel, su carne, su sangre y sus excrementos.
5 One shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her meat, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn.
6 El sacerdote tomará madera de cedro, hisopo e hilo rojo y los echará al fuego donde se quema la vaca.
6 The priest shall take cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the middle of the burning of the heifer.
7 Después el sacerdote lavará su ropa y bañará su cuerpo con agua. Entonces podrá entrar en el campamento, pero permanecerá impuro hasta el atardecer.
7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the evening.
8 El hombre que queme la vaca también lavará su ropa y bañará su cuerpo con agua, y permanecerá impuro hasta el atardecer.
8 He who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.
9 Un hombre que esté puro recogerá las cenizas de la vaca y las pondrá en un lugar puro fuera del campamento. La comunidad de Israel las guardará para preparar el agua de purificación. Esto sirve para la purificación del pecado.
9 “A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside of the camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for use in water for cleansing impurity. It is a sin offering.
10 El hombre que recoja las cenizas de la vaca lavará su ropa y permanecerá impuro hasta el atardecer. Esta será una ley permanente tanto para los israelitas como para los extranjeros que viven entre ellos.
10 He who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. It shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them, for a statute forever.
11 El que toque el cadáver de una persona quedará impuro durante siete días.
11 “He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
12 Deberá purificarse con esa agua el tercer día y el séptimo día, y entonces quedará puro. Pero si no se purifica el tercer día y el séptimo día, no quedará puro.
12 He shall purify himself with water on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean; but if he doesn’t purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
13 Todo el que toque un cadáver y no se purifique contamina el tabernáculo del Señor. Esa persona será excluida de Israel. Como el agua de purificación no fue rociada sobre ella, permanece impura.
13 Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and doesn’t purify himself, defiles Yahweh’s tabernacle; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean. His uncleanness is yet on him.
14 Esta es la ley cuando alguien muere dentro de una tienda: todo el que entre en la tienda y todo el que esté dentro de ella quedará impuro durante siete días.
14 “This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
15 También quedará impuro todo recipiente abierto que no tenga una tapa bien cerrada.
15 Every open vessel, which has no covering bound on it, is unclean.
16 Cualquiera que en campo abierto toque a una persona muerta por la espada, un cadáver, un hueso humano o una tumba quedará impuro durante siete días.
16 “Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
17 Para purificar a la persona impura, tomarán algunas cenizas de la ofrenda quemada por el pecado, las pondrán en un recipiente y echarán sobre ellas agua de manantial.
17 “For the unclean, they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin offering; and running water shall be poured on them in a vessel.
18 Una persona que esté pura tomará hisopo, lo mojará en el agua y rociará la tienda, todos los objetos y las personas que estaban allí. También rociará a cualquiera que haya tocado un hueso humano, a una persona muerta, un cadáver o una tumba.
18 A clean person shall take hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, on all the vessels, on the persons who were there, and on him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave.
19 La persona pura rociará a la persona impura el tercer día y el séptimo día. El séptimo día la purificará. La persona impura lavará su ropa, se bañará con agua y al atardecer quedará pura.
19 The clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day. On the seventh day, he shall purify him. He shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.
20 Pero la persona que esté impura y no se purifique será excluida de la comunidad, porque ha contaminado el santuario del Señor. Como el agua de purificación no fue rociada sobre ella, permanece impura.
20 But the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of Yahweh. The water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him. He is unclean.
21 Esta será una ley permanente para ellos. El que rocíe el agua de purificación deberá lavar su ropa, y el que toque esa agua quedará impuro hasta el atardecer.
21 It shall be a perpetual statute to them. He who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until evening.
22 Todo lo que toque una persona impura quedará impuro, y la persona que toque algo así quedará impura hasta el atardecer.
22 “Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until evening.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
In the law every one who toucheth a dead body was considered impure, but these are not dead.
