וּנְתַתֶּ֣ם אֹתָ֔הּ אֶל־אֶלְעָזָ֖ר הַכֹּהֵ֑ן וְהוֹצִ֤יא אֹתָהּ֙ אֶל־מִח֣וּץ לַֽמַּחֲנֶ֔ה וְשָׁחַ֥ט אֹתָ֖הּ לְפָנָֽיו׃

And you shall give it to Elazar the Kohen, and he shall take it outside the camp and slaughter it before him.

Torah Temimah: Yoma 42b — “Vehotzi osah” — “osah” alone, so that he should not take another out with it.

Core Text

אוֹתָהּ – לְבַדָּהּ, שֶׁלֹּא יוֹצִיא אַחֶרֶת עִמָּהּ.

English: “Osah” — alone, so that he should not take another out with it.

Exclusion from the singular “osah.”

The para aduma must be taken outside the camp by itself; no other animal may accompany it at that stage.
