never worn a yoke and lead her down to a valley that has never been planted and where there is a flowing stream. There in the valley they are to break the heifers neck… Then all the elders of the town nearest the body shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley, and they shall declare: Our hands did not shed

this blood, nor did our eyes see it done. Accept this atonement for your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, O Lord, and do not hold your people guilty of the blood of an innocent man.
