Amos 5:2

² The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.

Isaiah 45:7

⁷ I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

'Heifer,' or 'cow' in a negative sense denotes falsities.

'The heifer whereby labor has not been done,' as mentioned in Deuteronomy 21:3, signifies the innocence of the external self in ignorance.

'The red heifer,' as mentioned in Numbers 19, signifies unclean truth of the natural principle which is cleaned by burnings.

In Numbers 19:2, this signifies the good of the natural man. (Apocalypse Explained 364[6])
