1 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron:
2 This is the regulation in the Instruction that the Lord commanded. Tell the Israelites that they must bring you a red cow without defect, which is flawless and on which no yoke has been laid.
3 You will give it to Eleazar the priest, and he will take it outside the camp and slaughter it in front of him.
4 Eleazar the priest will take some of its blood with his finger and sprinkle it seven times in front of the meeting tent.
