1 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
2 “This is what the Lord’s teachings have commanded: Tell the Israelites to bring you a red cow that is perfect, with no defects. Also, it must never have worn a yoke.
3 Give it to the priest Eleazar. It must be taken outside the camp and slaughtered in his presence.
4 The priest Eleazar will take some of the blood with his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the front of the tent of meeting.
