llowed." R. Judah "allowed her." "If any of his garments were
wanting?" "She is disallowed." And the rites were performed in white
vestments.

2. "If the priest burned her out of her prepared place, or in two places,
or burned two in one place?" "She is disallowed." "If he sprinkled her
blood but not straight in front of the DOOR?" "She is disallowed." "If he
sprinkled her blood the sixth time for the seventh--he then turned and
sprinkled the seventh?" "She is disallowed." "If the priest sprinkled the
seventh time for the eighth--he then turned and sprinkled the eighth?" "She
is allowed."

3. "If the priest burned the red heifer without wood, or with every sort
of wood, even with stubble and dung?"(734) "She is allowed." "If he
skinned and cut her?" "She is allowed." "If he slaughtered her on
condition of eating from her flesh and drinking from her blood?" "She is
allowed." Rabbi Eliezer said, "intention does not disallow the heifer."

4. All who are busied about the heifer from the beginning to the end
render their garments legally unclean. And any work gained from her
renders her disallowed. If any illegality happened during her slaughter,
she does not render their garments unclean. If it happened during the
sprinkling of her blood, everyone busied before her disallowance renders
his garments unclean. After her disallowance he does not render his
garments unclean. It follows that her difficulty is his convenience. They
who are busied about her are always liable for a trespass-offering. They
may add wood to her during her burning. And her business is done in the
day and by a priest. Every work for gain with her causes her disallowance
until she be reduced to ashes. And work for gain causes disallowance in
the water also, until the ashes be strewn upon it.

Chapter V

1. He who brings earthen vessels for the ashes of the heifer must wash
them, and place them in the furnace over night. Rabbi Judah said, "even if
he bring them from his house they are allowed. Since everyone is trusted
about the heifer. But in the heave-offering he opens the furnace and takes
out the vessels." R. Simon said, "from the second(735) row." R. Jose said,
"from the third row."

2. He who washes vessels for the ashes of the red heifer, in water
unsuitable for purification, must dry them. If he wash them in water
suitable for purification, it is not necessary to dry them. If he add
therein water for purification, whether of one sort or
