1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2
"This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying: `Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish and upon which never came a yoke.
3
And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth outside the camp, and one shall slay her before his face.
4
And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times.
5
And one shall burn the heifer in his sight: her skin and her flesh and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn.
6
And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
7
Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water; and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the evening.
8
And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.
