The red heifer is first mentioned in the Book of Numbers 19:3 when God tells Moses and Aaron: "This is the ritual law that God has commanded: Instruct the Israelite people to bring you a red cow without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which no yoke has been laid."
The red heifers were actually imported from Texas and they look healthy. Soon the sacrifice ritual will take place somewhere in Israel, and the resulting ashes will serve to purify the priests.
Tell me we are not going bananas...
On the other hand, Israel's GNP reached 50,000 dollars per year. Source the World Bank. About 5 times the per capita of Argentina, and 10 times the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Bananas or not, but very rich.
