1 The Lord commanded Moses and Aaron
2 to give the Israelites the following regulations. Bring to Moses and Aaron a red cow which has no defects and which has never been worked,
3 and they will give it to Eleazar the priest. It is to be taken outside the camp and killed in his presence.
4 Then Eleazar is to take some of its blood and with his finger sprinkle it seven times in the direction of the Tent.
5 The whole animal, including skin, meat, blood, and intestines, is to be burned in the presence of the priest.
6 Then he is to take some cedar wood, a sprig of hyssop, and a red cord and throw them into the fire.
7 After that, he is to wash his clothes and pour water over himself, and then he may enter the camp; but he remains ritually unclean until evening.
