A search of Numbers 19:
A way of purification for the unclean or sinful among the children of Israel was through the ashes of a sacrificed, unblemished red heifer (19:2,9). The ashes were mixed with water in a vessel and sprinkled by a clean person with hyssop upon the persons or items for purification (19:17,18). The children of Israel had a choice, "[b]ut the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the Lord: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him: he is unclean" (19:20).
Today, people are separate from the world if they choose to be one of God's children. Jesus is the sacrifice without blemish for the purification of the world's sins. Through the blood of Jesus, believers are saved. Saved for eternity in heaven with God. Saved from eternity in hell.
