1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying,
2 “This is a law of the Torah which יהוה has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they bring you a red heifer, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish and on which a yoke has never come.
3 ‘And you shall give it to El‛azar the priest, and he shall bring it outside the camp, and shall slaughter it before him.
4 ‘And El‛azar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and sprinkle some of its blood seven times toward the front of the Tent of Meeting.
5 ‘And the heifer shall be burned before his eyes – he burns its hide, and its flesh, and its blood, and its dung.
6 ‘And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet, and throw them into the midst of the fire burning the heifer.
7 ‘The priest shall then wash his garments, and shall bathe his body in water, and afterward come into the camp, but the priest is unclean until evening.
