Numbers 19 talks about the ordinance of the red cow, a ritual of purification for those who touched a corpse or were in contact with a dead person. The red cow, which should be completely red and without defect, was sacrificed outside the camp and its ashes were used to prepare the water of purification. Those who were unclean needed to be aspergated with the water of purification on the third and seventh day so that they could be considered clean again. Below are four verses related to topics addressed in numbers 19:
Leviticus 16:26 - "He who releases the goat to Azazel will wash his robes and bathe his body in water, and then enter the village." This verse talks about the day of atonement, another day of purification for the people of Israel, who involved the sacrifice of two goats, one to the Lord and one for Azazel.
Hebrews 9:13-14 - "For if the blood of the bulls and goats and the ash of a heifer sprinkled over the filthy of the sanctifies, as to the purification of the flesh, much more the blood of Christ, which by the eternal spirit offered himself to himself Even immaculate to God, will you purify your conscience of the dead works to serve the living God? " This verse shows that purification through animal sacrifices was not sufficient for the total purification of sins, and that only Christ's sacrifice could completely purify.
Hebrews 9:19-22 - "For if there are Moses announced to all the people all commandments according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water, purple wool, hisssop and spread both the same book and all the people , saying, This is the blood of the testament that God has sent you. And it has similarly spread with blood the tabernacle and all the vessels of ministry. And almost all things, according to the law, purify themselves with blood; and without bloodshed not There is remission. " This verse talks about the importance of bloodshed in the rituals of purification, and how this applies to purification by the blood of Christ.
1 John 1:7 - "But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have communion with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin." This verse talks about the importance of living in communion with God and with others, and how the blood of Jesus can purify us from all sins.
