The cows he was talking about are red heifers, which now graze at a secure, undisclosed location in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Some Jews and Christians believe they're key to rebuilding the Jewish temple that once stood in Jerusalem, and to beckoning the Messiah.
To rebuild it, fervent believers point to the Bible's Book of
Numbers, which commands the Israelites to offer "a red heifer without
defect or blemish and that has never been under a yoke."
Only with that offering, they
insist, can the temple rise again..........
