Numbers 19:12 instructs using this water for purification on the third and seventh days — a direct continuation of the same law.

Numbers 8:7 Parallel

Numbers 8:7 prescribes the same 'water of cleansing' for Levites, directly parallel to the ritual here.

Numbers 31:23 references the same 'water of cleansing' for purifying plunder after fire — a direct cross-reference.
