Talmud su Numeri 19:3
וּנְתַתֶּ֣ם אֹתָ֔הּ אֶל־אֶלְעָזָ֖ר הַכֹּהֵ֑ן וְהוֹצִ֤יא אֹתָהּ֙ אֶל־מִח֣וּץ לַֽמַּחֲנֶ֔ה וְשָׁחַ֥ט אֹתָ֖הּ לְפָנָֽיו׃
E la darai al sacerdote Eleazaro, e lei sarà generata senza l'accampamento, e sarà uccisa davanti al suo volto.
Avot D'Rabbi Natan
The Torah was given at Sinai through Moses' hands, as it says (Deuteronomy 5:19), "He wrote them on two stone tablets, and He gave them to me." And then later it says (Leviticus 26:46), "These are the decrees and the laws and the teachings that the Eternal gave, through Moses on Mount Sinai, between Him and the children of Israel." The Torah that the Holy Blessed One gave to Israel was given only through Moses, as it says (Exodus 31:17), "Between Me and the children of Israel"; Moses merited to be a messenger between the children of Israel and the Omnipresent God. Moses prepared the inaugural ram and the anointing oil, and anointed Aaron and his sons with it all seven days of inauguration, and from it, all the high priests and kings are anointed. And Elazar burned the [red] heifer as a sin offering, with which impurities would be purified for generations. Rabbi Eliezer said: Great is this ritual, for it is practiced throughout the generations, just as Aaron and his sons were sanctified with this anointing oil, as it says (Exodus 30:30), "Anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them to serve as priests.”

Jerusalem Talmud Yoma
Rebbi Joḥanan said, we do not find that slaughter be qualified161This must read “disqualified” since Mishnah Zevaḥim 3:1 states without dissent that slaughter of sacrifices by a Non-Cohen, a woman, or a slave, is qualified. by a non-Cohen. Rav commanded his students, everywhere state “he slaughters”, but for the Cow162The Red Cow (Num. 19). Here one has to switch the places of “slaughters” and sprinkles.” Rav instructed that in baraitot specifying where a Cohen is indispensable, it always should mention sprinkling (mostly pouring the blood on the altar) but not slaughtering. But he requires that the Cow be slaughtered by a Cohen even though Num. 19:3 states only that somebody has to slaughter the Cow in the Cohen’s presence. state “sprinkles”; and Rebbi Joḥanan said, we do not find that slaughter be (qualified) [disqualified]163The text in parentheses is the scribe’s, consistent with his earlier text, but materially wrong. The text in brackets is the corrector’s; its correctness is shown by the following argument of R. Ḥiyya bar Abba. by a non-Cohen. Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba objected. Is it not written, he slaughters, he sprinkles164Num. 19:3, 4. This sprinkling is not that of water with the ashes of the Red Cow, but of its blood, and the verse specifies that it has to be done by the Cohen.? Since sprinkling is not qualified by a woman as by a man165The main thrust of Num. 19:18 is that it describes a rite which does not require a Cohen., also slaughter is not qualified by a woman as by a man. He said to him, but sprinkling always was qualified by a Non-Cohen and disqualified by a woman166If slaughter of sacrifices is permitted to laymen, why is the High Priest burdened with slaughter in addition to all his other duties on that day?. He answered him, there “Cohen” is not written167Lev. 16:15. While in the case of the bull, Aaron is only commanded to sacrifice(v. 6), in the case of the he-goat it is spelled out that he has to slaughter. There is more reason to require the High Priest to personally slaughter the he-goat than the bull.. For which purpose is written a man? To qualify a non-Cohen. There is no difference between man and woman. If you are saying that it is qualified by a non-Cohen, it has to be qualified by a woman.
