1 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
2 This is the rule of the law which the Lord has made, saying, Give orders to the children of Israel to give you a red cow without any mark on her, and on which the yoke has never been put:
3 Give her to Eleazar the priest and let him take her outside the tent-circle and have her put to death before him.
4 Then let Eleazar the priest take some of her blood on his finger, shaking the blood seven times in the direction of the front of the Tent of meeting:
5 And the cow is to be burned before him, her skin and her flesh and her blood and her waste are to be burned:
6 Then let the priest take cedar-wood and hyssop and red thread, and put them into the fire where the cow is burning.
7 And the priest, after washing his clothing and bathing his body in water, may come back to the tent-circle, and will be unclean till evening.
