Numbers 19

This picture demonstrates how uncleanness in the Old Testament was transmitted.


 It is important to point out that the one who is to sprinkle the unclean can't be unclean. Only the clean can perform the actions needed to make the unclean clean. This is also a picture of Jesus, who, as the scriptures say, is the perfect lamb, the one who is clean. However, Jesus' cleanness/perfection is different from that of any other human because Jesus can touch the unclean and not be corrupted or made unclean. Jesus' touch, as we see in the Gospels, heals the unclean and the diseased. This is why Jesus' cleansing is better than what was ever in the Law.
