["Yigal Levin" <leviny1 AT mail.biu.ac.il>]

Dear Jack,

That was just my point. All the Hebrew in Num. 19 says is that it must be a 
"red cow, that is unblemished, that has never been harnessed." Assuming that 
the English "heifer" means "a cow that has never had a calf" (which is not 
quite the same as "virgin"), I was wondering where the translators got the 
additional conditions from. I don't know of any Rabbibnic sources that add 
these conditions.

  Interesting discussion on the virginity of Red Heiffers.

  Can anybody cite ancient sources (rabbinic) requiring this?
