Verse 3 is found in chapter 19 of Numbers. The law of the red heifer establishes a procedure for producing purification water for those who have come into contact with a dead person. The ceremony contains a ritual paradox: those involved in preparing the purifying agent temporarily become unclean. The passage demonstrates the complexity of Israel’s purity system and its concern for preserving the holiness of the camp around the sanctuary.

Und gebt sie dem Priester Eleasar; der soll sie hinaus vor das Lager führen und daselbst vor ihm schlachten lassen.

Vous la remettrez au sacrificateur Eléazar, qui la fera sortir du camp, et on l'égorgera devant lui.
E datela al Sacerdote Eleazaro, ed esso la meni fuor del campo, e la faccia scannare in sua presenza.
E a dareis a Eleazar, o sacerdote; ele a tirará para fora do arraial, e degolar-se-á diante dele.
交給 以利亞撒 祭司。他要把牛牽到營外,人就在他面前把牛宰了。
