1 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron,
2 “This is the legal statute that the Lord has commanded: Instruct the Israelites to bring you an unblemished red cow that has no defect and has never been yoked.
3 Give it to Eleazar the priest, and he will have it brought outside the camp and slaughtered in his presence.
4 Eleazar the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the front of the tent of meeting.
