1 “When one is found slain, fallen in a field on the ground which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it, [and] it is not known who has struck him, 2 then your elderly and yours [of those] judging have gone out and measured to the cities which [are] around the slain one, 3 and it has been, the city which [is] near to the slain one, even [the] elderly of that city have taken a heifer of the herd, which has not been worked with, which has not drawn in a yoke, 4 and [the] elderly of that city have brought down the heifer to a hard valley, which is not tilled nor sown, and have beheaded the heifer there in the valley. 5 And the priests, sons of Levi, have come near—for your God YHWH has fixed on them to serve Him and to bless in the Name of YHWH, and by their mouth is every strife and every stroke— 6 and all [the] elderly of that city, who are near to the slain one, wash their hands over the heifer which is beheaded in the valley, Deuteronomy 21:1-6, Literal Standard Version.
