Then the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come near, for (A)the Lord your God has chosen them to minister to Him and to bless in the name of the Lord; (B)by their word every controversy and every [a]assault shall be settled. And all the elders of that city nearest to the slain man (C)shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley.
