If the blood of the red heifer was received in a container rather than on the priest's finger, what is the ruling?
Halacha 4 rules it is unacceptable, citing Numbers 19:4 which says 'Elazar shall take of its blood with his finger' — reception in a container is invalid.
Question 2
How many sprinklings of blood are required toward the Tent of Meeting?
Halacha 5 and 7 establish that exactly seven sprinklings are required. If even one is missing, the rite is invalid.
Question 3
If one of the seven sprinklings is performed at night, what is the ruling?
Halacha 9 states that if even one sprinkling was performed at night — even if six were done properly by day — the offering is disqualified.
Question 4
Does leaving the red heifer overnight after slaughter without burning it disqualify the offering?
Halacha 13 rules that the heifer is NOT disqualified by being left overnight without burning. Therefore it may be slaughtered one day and burned the next.
Question 5
What types of wood may be used to burn the red heifer?
Halacha 16 states that if it was burned without wood or with all types of wood, even straw and stubble, it is acceptable.
