Deuteronomy 21:3-6
3 It shall be that the city which is nearest to the slain man, that is, the elders of that city, shall take a heifer of the herd, which has not been worked and which has not pulled in a yoke;
4 and the elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water, which has not been plowed or sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley.
5 Then (A)the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come near, for the Lord your God has chosen them to serve Him and to bless in the name of the Lord; and every dispute and every (a)assault (b)shall be settled by them.
6 All the elders of that city (c)which is nearest to the slain man shall (B)wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley;
