1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 2 “This is the ritual that the Lord has appointed for a victim. Instruct the sons of Israel, so that they may bring to you a red cow of full maturity, in which there is no blemish, and which has not carried a yoke. 3 And you shall deliver it to Eleazar the priest, who, having led it out beyond the camp, shall immolate it in the sight of all. 4 And dipping his finger in its blood, he shall sprinkle it seven times, opposite the door of the tabernacle. 5 And he shall burn it, while all are watching, delivering into the flame, not only its skin and flesh, but also the blood and dung. 6 Likewise, cedar wood, and hyssop, and twice-dyed scarlet he shall cast into the flame, by which the cow is consumed.
