The table below presents an aligned extract of verses or verselets
in
Nu19-09a
Both verses/verselets
discuss
where the ashes of the red-heiffer are deposited.
The alignment justifies the Rashi comment that:
Biblically the ashes were placed in two places:
a) Outside the Temple camp for purposes of purification
by lay Israelites, b) inside the Temple for purposes
of commemoration. Furthermore, Rabbinically, for practical
purposes, for the priests, there was a third deposit
of the ashes in the Temple for purposes of purification
of the High priests in their procedures.

And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer,
- and lay them up outside the camp in a clean place, and
- it shall be kept as a watched commemorative for the congregation of the people of Israel for a water of sprinkling; it is a purification offering

Advanced Rashi:
Rashi literally says There are three deposits of the Temple ashes.
However, upon review of the Rashi methodology and the cited Biblical
text, we have rephrased Rashi to indicate There are three deposits
of the Temple ashes. Two of these three methods are Biblically indicated
while the third is a Rabbinical provision for convenience purposes.
As frequently indicated in this email list, supplementation of Rashi
with comments based on the cited Biblical text and Rashi's methods enriches
the Rashi experience.
