Numbers 19:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ The whole ·cow [^Theifer] must be burned while he watches; the skin, the meat, the blood, and ·the intestines [^Lits dung] must all be burned. ⁶ Then the priest must take a cedar stick, a hyssop branch, and a red string [^Cthe redness of the heifer and these objects probably represent blood] and throw them onto the burning ·cow [^Theifer]. ⁷ After the priest has washed himself and his clothes with water, he may come back into the camp, but he will be unclean [^Cin a ritual sense] until evening.
