But the Temple service can’t begin without the parah adumah (red heifer).
What does a cow have to do with the rebuilding of the Holy Temple? How could a simple animal play a vital role in the success or failure of such a monumental event?
God’s word states that only the red heifer can restore the Biblical purity needed to rebuild the Temple.
“Then Eleazar the priest is to take some of its [red heifer] blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the front of the Tent of Meeting.” (Numbers 19:4)
An unblemished, pure red heifer is the key ingredient to Temple worship (Numbers 19:1–2, 10).
