Numbers 19:12  (King James Version)
He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
 


He shall purify
"Yithchatta," literally, "he shall sin himself," ie., not add
sin, but take it away, purify. So we say to fleece, and to skin, which do not signify to add a fleece, or a skin, but to take one away.
