Deuteronomy 21:4

4 They must lead it down to a valley that has not been plowed or planted and that has a stream running through it. There in the valley they must break the heifer’s neck.

Deuteronomy 21:4 In-Context

2 In such a case, your elders and judges must measure the distance from the site of the crime to the nearby towns.
3 When the nearest town has been determined, that town’s elders must select from the herd a heifer that has never been trained or yoked to a plow.
4 They must lead it down to a valley that has not been plowed or planted and that has a stream running through it. There in the valley they must break the heifer’s neck.
5 Then the Levitical priests must step forward, for the LORD your God has chosen them to minister before him and to pronounce blessings in the LORD ’s name. They are to decide all legal and criminal cases.
6 “The elders of the town must wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken.
