1. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron. He said,
2. “These are the laws from the teachings that the Lord gave to the Israelites. Get a red cow that has nothing wrong with it. That cow must not have any bruises. And it must never have worn a yoke.
3. Give that cow to Eleazar, and he will take it outside the camp and kill it there.
4. Then Eleazar the priest must put some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle some of the blood toward the Holy Tent. He must do this seven times.
5. Then the whole cow must be burned in front of him; the skin, the meat, the blood, and the intestines must all be burned.
