1. The Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2. “This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded. Tell the children of Israel to bring you a red heifer without spot, in which is no defect, and which was never yoked.
3. You shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her outside of the camp, and one shall kill her before his face.
4. Eleazar the priest shall take some of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood towards the front of the Tent of Meeting seven times.
5. One shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her meat, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn.
