Deuteronomy 21:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ The elders of the city nearest the body are responsible. They must take a young cow that has never worked or worn a yoke. ⁴ And they must lead her down to a valley. It must never have been plowed or planted. It must have a stream flowing through it. There they must break the young cow’s neck. ⁵ The priests should come forward. They are the sons of Levi. They have been chosen by the Lord your God. They are to serve and give blessings in the Lord’s name. And they are to decide cases of quarreling and attacks.
