2This 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:
3Give her to Eleazar the priest and let him take her outside the tent-circle and have her put to death before him.
4Then 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:
5And the cow is to be burned before him, her skin and her flesh and her blood and her waste are to be burned:
6Then let the priest take cedar-wood and hyssop and red thread, and put them into the fire where the cow is burning.
7And 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.
8And he who does the burning is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.
