Deuteronomy 21:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² Then your elders and judges shall come forth and measure the distance to the cities around him who is slain.

³ And the city which is nearest to the slain man, the elders of that city shall take a heifer which has never been worked, never pulled in the yoke,

⁴ And the elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley.
