The LORD is speaking to Moses and Aaron, and this verse describes the ritual that cleansed someone who had touched a corpse, a bone or a grave. A ceremonially clean man dips hyssop, a small bunch of branches used for sprinkling, into fresh water mixed with the ashes of the red heifer, then sprinkles the tent, its furnishings and the people present, along with the one who became unclean.
