Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.

Vulgate

ἐξ ἐπιλέκτων κτηνῶν εἰλημμένων, καὶ ὑπόκαιε τὰ ὀστᾶ ὑποκάτω αὐτῶν. ἔζεσεν, ἔζεσεν, καὶ ἥψηται τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς.

Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the caldron; make it boil well; yea, let the bones thereof be boiled in the midst of it.
