Numbers 19:1-4 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

2 This is the statute for the ritual which the LORD has commanded. Tell the Israelites to procure for you a red heifer without defect and free from every blemish and on which no yoke has ever been laid.

3 You will give it to Eleazar the priest, and it will be led outside the camp and slaughtered in his presence.

4 Eleazar the priest will take some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the front of the tent of meeting.
