And all the old men of that city being near to him wounded, shall wash their hands over the heifer having her neck broken in the valley:
It will stay upon the head of Joab and to all the house of his father; and there shall not be cut off from the house of Joab, him flowing, and the leprous, and him holding fast upon a staff, and him falling upon a sword, and him diminished in bread.
If I washed myself in snow-water, and cleansed my hands clean;
Who will understand errors? acquit me from hidden things.
I will wash my hands in cleanness, and I will surround thine altar, O Jehovah:
Deliver me from bloods, O God the God of my salvation; my tongue shall rejoice in thy justice.
Multiply to wash me from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Thou wilt purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: thou wilt wash me and I shall be white above snow.
Surely in vain I cleansed my heart, and I will wash my hands in cleanness.
For if thou shalt wash thyself with nitre, and thou shalt increase to thee cleansing, thine iniquity was graven before me, says the Lord Jehovah.
And they answered and said, Our hands poured not out this blood, and our eyes saw not
Only in food and drinks, and different immersions, and precepts of the flesh, being placed till the time of amendment.
