1. `When one is found slain on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee to possess it--fallen in a field--it is not known who hath smitten him,
2. then have thine elders and thy judges gone out and measured unto the cities which [are] round about the slain one,
3. and it hath been, the city which [is] near unto the slain one, even the elders of that city have taken a heifer of the herd, which hath not been wrought with, which hath not drawn in the yoke,
4. and the elders of that city have brought down the heifer unto a hard valley, which is not tilled nor sown, and have beheaded there the heifer in the valley.
