Numbers 19:2-5 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

2. "This is the ritual that the Lord has appointed for a victim. Instruct the sons of Israel, so that they may bring to you a red cow of full maturity, in which there is no blemish, and which has not carried a yoke.

3. And you shall deliver it to Eleazar the priest, who, having led it out beyond the camp, shall immolate it in the sight of all.

4. And dipping his finger in its blood, he shall sprinkle it seven times, opposite the door of the tabernacle.

5. And he shall burn it, while all are watching, delivering into the flame, not only its skin and flesh, but also the blood and dung.
