The leaders will take the heifer to a valley with a stream, a valley that has never been plowed or planted, and there break the neck of the heifer. The Levitical priests will then step up.

By following these procedures you will have absolved yourselves of any part in the murder because you will have done what is right in God’s sight. * * *
