"Speak unto the children of Israel," the Lord commanded, "that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came a yoke." The cow will be given to a priest to slay, the Lord continued, and burned on a pyre of cedar, hyssop, and a strand of scarlet thread FER The red heifer represents Christ because it sacrifices its blood so that the children of Israel can enter into the Holy of Holies, or the presence of God. Jesus Christ, "neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us"
According to the Mishnah, the ceremony of the burning of the red heifer took place on the Mount of Olives. A ritually pure kohen slaughtered the heifer and sprinkled its blood in the direction of the Temple seven times. The red heifer was then burned on a pyre, together with scarlet dyed wool, hyssop, and cedarwood.
