Scripture focus
This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein [is] no blemish, [and] upon which never came yoke:
Numbers 19:2 — KJV
The ordinance of the law. The children of Israel were in fear of losing their lives because of ceremonial pollution (chs. 16:49; 17:12, 13). This law is provided to show how they might be purified from pollution.
A red heifer. Symbolically, the red color suggests blood as an instrument of purification; also, fire.
Without spot. Literally, “faultless,” “sound,” “healthy.”
No blemish. No physical defect (see Lev. 22:20-22).
Never came yoke. Since this animal was selected for a special purpose, it must be one that had not been used for ordinary domestic work (see Deut. 21:3; 1 Sam. 6:7).
