Red heifer

The red heifer (Hebrew: פָּרָה אֲדֻמָּה, romanized: parah adumah), also known as the red cow, is a ritually pure heifer sacrificed by the priests to Yahweh that is mentioned in the Torah, and the Bible. Its ashes after being sacrificed and burned were used for the ritual purification as a prelude to building their temple.^[1]
