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.
5 Then the entire cow (the skin, meat, blood, and excrement) will be burned while he watches.
6 The priest will take some cedar wood, a hyssop sprig, and some red yarn and throw them onto the burning cow.
7 The priest must then wash his clothes and his body. After that, he may go into the camp. But he will be unclean until evening.
8 The person who burned the calf must also wash his clothes and his body. He, too, will be unclean until evening.
9 “A man who is clean will collect the ashes from the cow and put them in a clean place outside the camp. They will be kept by the community of Israel and used in the water that takes away uncleanness. The cow is an offering for sin.
