1 When there shall be found a wounded in the land which Jehovah thy God gave to thee, to possess it, fallen in the field, not knowing who smote him: 2 And thy old men and thy judges shall come forth and measure to the cities which are round about him wounded: 3 And it was the the city being near to the wounded, and the old men of the city took a heifer of the kine which was not worked with, and drew not in the yoke: 4 And the old men of that city brought down the heifer to a perennial valley which shall not be worked in it, and shall not be sown, and they break there the neck of the heifer in the valley; 5 And the priests, the sons of Levi, came near, for in them Jehovah thy God chose to serve him and to bless in the name of Jehovah, and by their mouth shall be every controversy and every blow. 6 And all the old men of that city being near to him wounded, shall wash their hands over the heifer having her neck broken in the valley: Deuteronomy 21:1-6, Smith's Literal Translation.
