That is, water prepared by being mixed with the ashes of the
heifer, and set apart for the special purpose of being
sprinkled on those who had contracted any legal defilement.

blood of bulls and of goats," alluding, probably, to the
sin-offerings and the scape-goat, "and the ashes of a heifer
sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the
flesh; how much more shall the blood of Christ, who, through
the eternal Spirit, offered himself without spot unto God,
purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living
God."
