Deuteronomy 21:3-6 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

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.

5. `And the priests, sons of Levi, have come nigh--for on them hath Jehovah thy God fixed to serve Him, and to bless in the name of Jehovah, and by their mouth is every strife, and every stroke--

6. and all the elders of that city, who are near unto the slain one, do wash their hands over the heifer which is beheaded in the valley,
