Interesting discussion on the virginity of Red Heiffers.

Can anybody cite ancient sources (rabbinic) requiring this?

Juan Stam, Universidad Nacional, San José Costa Rica


I can give you some Midrashic sources on the red heifer: Numbers Rabbah
(Vilna) 19; Pesikta Rabbati, ed. Ish-Shalom, 14; Tanhuma Buber, Huqqat, 19;
Yalkut Shimoni, Huqqat,Par. 759; Pesikta d'Rav Kahana,Vol. 1, ed. Mandelbaum,
NY 1962, p. 74.
On the Rabbinic views in general, see E. E. Urbach, Haza"l – Beliefs and
Viewpoints, Jerusalem 1976, pp. 329-334 [Hebrew];N. Goldstein, Studies in
Rabbinic Thought on the Temple Service etc., Ph.D. Dissertation, Hebrew
University, Jerusalem,1977, pp. 54-108 [Hebrew].
