And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:

This, is the statute of the law, which Yahweh hath commanded, saying, - Speak unto the sons of Israel - That they bring unto thee a red heifer, without defect wherein is no blemish, and whereupon hath come no yoke.

Then shall ye give her unto Eleazar the priest, and he shall take her forth unto the outside of the camp, and she shall be slain before him;

and Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, - and shall sprinkle towards the front of the tent of meeting: of her blood, seven times;

and the heifer shall be burned up before his eyes, - her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung shall be burned up.

Then shall the priest take cedar-wood and hyssop and crimson, - and east lute the midst of the burning up of the heifer.

And the priest shall wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in water, and afterwards come into the camp, - but the priest shall be unclean until the evening,

And, he that burneth her, shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, - and be unclean until the evening,

Then shall a man that is clean gather up the ashes of the heifer, and put them by, outside the camp, in a clean place, - so shall they be for the assembly of the sons of Israel to keep for water of separation it is a taking away of sin.

Then shall he that gathered up the ashes wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening, - so shall it be for the sons of Israel and for the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst by a statute age-abiding.
