Context — The Red Heifer
8The one who burned the heifer must also wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and he too will be ceremonially unclean until evening.
9Then a man who is ceremonially clean is to gather up the ashes of the heifer and store them in a ceremonially clean place outside the camp. They must be kept by the congregation of Israel for preparing the water of purification; this is for purification from sin.
10The man who has gathered up the ashes of the heifer must also wash his clothes, and he will be ceremonially unclean until evening. This is a permanent statute for the Israelites and for the foreigner residing among them.
11Whoever touches any dead body will be unclean for seven days. 12He must purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day; then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third and seventh days, he will not be clean.Cross References

Numbers 19:10 Summary
This verse is talking about a man who gathered ashes from a special animal sacrifice, and because of that, he needed to wash his clothes to become clean again. This was a rule that God gave to the Israelites, and it was meant to help them remember the importance of being pure and clean in their worship of God, as seen in Psalm 51:7. Just like the man in this verse, we need to recognize when we have come into contact with 'uncleanness' and take steps to cleanse ourselves, with the help of God's forgiveness and purification, as promised in 1 John 1:9. By doing so, we can walk in a way that is pleasing to God, as encouraged in Colossians 1:22.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the man who gathered the ashes of the heifer need to wash his clothes?
The man who gathered the ashes of the heifer needed to wash his clothes because he came into contact with something that was ceremonially unclean, as seen in Numbers 19:10, and this is similar to the requirement for the one who burned the heifer in Numbers 19:8.
What is the purpose of the ashes of the heifer?
The ashes of the heifer were used for preparing the water of purification, which was for purification from sin, as stated in Numbers 19:9, and this process is also mentioned in Hebrews 9:13-14, where it is used to illustrate the cleansing power of Christ's blood.
Who was required to follow this statute?
This statute was required for the Israelites and for the foreigner residing among them, as stated in Numbers 19:10, emphasizing that God's laws were not just for the Israelites, but also for those who lived among them, as seen in Leviticus 24:22.
Is this statute still applicable today?
While this specific statute is not directly applicable today, the principle of recognizing and dealing with sin and uncleanness is still relevant, as seen in 1 John 1:9, where we are told to confess our sins to be cleansed by God's faithfulness and justice.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I may be coming into contact with 'uncleanness' and need to take steps to cleanse myself?
- How can I apply the principle of recognizing and dealing with sin and uncleanness in my daily life, just as the Israelites did in Numbers 19:10?
- What does it mean for me to be 'ceremonially unclean' in a spiritual sense, and how can I become clean again, as promised in 1 John 1:9?
- How can I use the example of the man who gathered the ashes of the heifer to inform my own understanding of the importance of purity and cleanliness in my walk with God, as seen in 2 Corinthians 7:1?
Gill's Exposition on Numbers 19:10
And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes,.... Whom the Targum of Jonathan calls a priest, though it does not seem necessary he should be one: and be unclean until the
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 19:10
And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Numbers 19:10
The stranger that sojourneth, to wit, a proselyte, not any stranger, as some understand it. For since it is confessed all the other ceremonial laws do not oblige them, and that where the name of stranger is put, as here it is, it generally speaks of a proselyte, it is more reasonable to take it so here, than without any reason or evidence to make this a particular exception from the general rule.
Trapp's Commentary on Numbers 19:10
Numbers 19:10 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.Ver. 10. Shall wash his clothes.] To note, that even the nearer a Christian comes to the merits of Christ, the more he is affected with the sense of his own uncleanness; yea, he retains it till even, that is, till death.
Ellicott's Commentary on Numbers 19:10
(10) And it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger . . . —So the promise of the remission of sins through Christ Jesus was not only to the Jews and to their children, but also to all that were afar off. (See Acts 2:39.)
Barnes' Notes on Numbers 19:10
He that gathered the ashes became equally unclean with the others. For the defilement of the people, previously transferred to the heifer, was regarded as concentrated in the ashes.
Whedon's Commentary on Numbers 19:10
10. He that gathereth — Here we have a paradox. The clean man, in gathering the ashes which make clean, becomes unclean.
