The red heifer (Hebrew: פָּרָה אֲדֻמָּה, romanized: parah adumah), a heifer which is never pregnant, milked, or yoked, also known as the red cow, is a heifer sacrificed by the priests as a sacrifice to God in the Book of Numbers (Torah, Old Testament), and the Quran. Its ashes after being sacrificed and burned were used for the ritual purification of corpse uncleanness caused by an Israelite coming into contact with a human corpse, a human bone, or a human grave.
