And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:

Verse 5 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 die Kuh vor ihm verbrennen lassen, beides, ihr Fell und ihr Fleisch, dazu ihr Blut samt ihrem Mist.
Y hará quemar la vaca ante sus ojos: su cuero y su carne y su sangre, con su estiércol, hará quemar.
On brûlera la vache sous ses yeux; on brûlera sa peau, sa chair et son sang, avec ses excréments.
Poi brucisi quella giovenca davanti agli occhi di esso; brucisi la sua pelle, la sua carne, il suo sangue, insieme col suo sterco.
Então queimará a novilha perante os seus olhos; o seu couro, e a sua carne, e o seu sangue, com o seu esterco, se queimará.
人要在他眼前焚燒這母牛,牛的皮、肉、血和糞都要焚燒。
