1 'When one is found slain on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee to possess it -- fallen in a field -- it is not known who hath smitten him, 2 then have thine elders and thy judges gone out and measured unto the cities which are round about the slain one, 3 and it hath been, the city which is near unto the slain one, even the elders of that city have taken a heifer of the herd, which hath not been wrought with, which hath not drawn in the yoke, 4 and the elders of that city have brought down the heifer unto a hard valley, which is not tilled nor sown, and have beheaded there the heifer in the valley. 5 'And the priests, sons of Levi, have come nigh -- for on them hath Jehovah thy God fixed to serve Him, and to bless in the name of Jehovah, and by their mouth is every strife, and every stroke -- 6 and all the elders of that city, who are near unto the slain one, do wash their hands over the heifer which is beheaded in the valley, Deuteronomy 21:1-6, Young's Literal Translation.
