Numbers 19:2-9 This is the constitution of the law, as the Lord has commanded, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel, and let them take for you a red heifer without spot, which has no spot on her, and on which no yoke has been put.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ² This is the constitution of the law, as the Lord has commanded, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel, and let them take for you a red heifer without spot, which has no spot on her, and on which no yoke has been put. ³ And you shall give her to Eleazar the priest; and they shall bring her out of the camp into a clean place, and shall kill her before his face. ⁴ And Eleazar shall take of her blood, and sprinkle of her blood seven times in front of the tabernacle of witness. ⁵ And they shall burn her to ashes before him; and her skin and her flesh and her blood, with her dung, shall be consumed. ⁶ And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet wool, and they shall cast them into the midst of the burning of the heifer. ⁷ And the priest shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and afterwards he shall go into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean till evening. ⁸ And he that burns her shall wash his garments, and bathe his body, and shall be unclean till evening. ⁹ And a clean man shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up in a clean place outside the camp; and they shall be for the congregation of the children of Israel to keep: it is the water of sprinkling, a purification.
