  Ashes
     The ashes of a red heifer burned entire (Num. 19:5) when
     sprinkled on the unclean made them ceremonially clean (Heb.
     9:13).
     
       To cover the head with ashes was a token of self-abhorrence
     and humiliation (2 Sam. 13:19; Esther 4:3; Jer. 6:26, etc.).
     
       To feed on ashes (Isa. 44:20), means to seek that which will
     prove to be vain and unsatisfactory, and hence it denotes the
     unsatisfactory nature of idol-worship. (Comp. Hos. 12:1).

        purer and tenderer gray that produced by the mixture of
        more positive colors. --Fairholt.
