And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
All Commentaries on Numbers 19:6 Go To Numbers 19

St. Paul informs us, (Hebrews ix. 19,) that Moses thus sprinkled the people and the book: and branches of this description were probably used when the people took this holy water, ver. 18. The ashes intimate, that those who have sinned, may be purified by the sacrament of penance, ver. 9. (Calmet)
