1. And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2. This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without blemish, wherein is no defect, and upon which never came yoke;
3. and ye shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring it outside the camp, and one shall slaughter it before him.
4. And Eleazar the priest shall take of its blood with his finger, and shall sprinkle of its blood directly before the tent of meeting seven times.
5. And one shall burn the heifer before his eyes; its skin and its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall he burn.
6. And the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast them into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
