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.
