Numbers 19:3

Laws of Purification

1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

2 “This is the¹ ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying: ‘Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without² blemish, in which there is no ^adefect ^band on which a yoke has never come.

3 You shall give it to Eleazar the priest, that he may take it ^aoutside the camp, and it shall be slaughtered before him;

4 and Eleazar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and ^asprinkle some of its blood seven times directly in front of the tabernacle of meeting.

5 Then the heifer shall be burned in his sight: ^aits hide, its flesh, its blood, and its offal shall be burned.

6 And the priest shall take ^acedar wood and ^bhyssop and scarlet, and cast them into the midst of the fire burning the heifer.
