Deuteronomy 21:3
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Then the elders of the city nearest the victim shall take a heifer that has never been yoked or used for work,
In context
1 If one is found slain, lying in a field in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess, and it is not known who killed him,
2 your elders and judges must come out and measure the distance from the victim to the neighboring cities.
3 Then the elders of the city nearest the victim shall take a heifer that has never been yoked or used for work,
4 bring the heifer to a valley with running water that has not been plowed or sown, and break its neck there by the stream.
5 And the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come forward, for the LORD your God has chosen them to serve Him and pronounce blessings in His name and to give a ruling in every dispute and case of assault.
