³ And whichever town is nearest to the body, the responsible men of that town are to take from the herd a young cow which has never been used for work or put under the yoke;

² This is the rule of the law which the Lord has made, saying, Give orders to the children of Israel to give you a red cow without any mark on her, and on which the yoke has never been put:

¹⁸ Certainly Ephraim's words of grief have come to my ears, You have given me training and I have undergone it like a young cow unused to the yoke: let me be turned and come back, for you are the Lord my God.

²⁸ Come to me, all you who are troubled and weighted down with care, and I will give you rest.

²⁹ Take my yoke on you and become like me, for I am gentle and without pride, and you will have rest for your souls;

³⁰ For my yoke is good, and the weight I take up is not hard.

⁸ And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.
