3and it shall be that the city which is nearest to the slain man the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which has not labored, and which has not borne a yoke.
4And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer into a rough valley, which has not been tilled and is not sown, and they shall slay the heifer in the valley.
— Deuteronomy 21:5 —
6And all the elders of that city who draw nigh to the slain man shall wash their hands over the head of the heifer which was slain in the valley;
7and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, and our eyes have not seen it.
