Stage one
Securing the essential elements of the mitzvah
The mitzvah cannot be fulfilled without these three foundations, so this is where we begin.
A red heifer
Raising red heifers that meet every halachic requirement.
A pure Kohen
Preparing Kohanim who can perform the mitzvah in a state of purity.
A place of burning
Clarifying, according to halacha, the proper place to burn the heifer.
