Shabbath Shalom

"Zois Chukas HaTorah... ViYikchu Aylecha Parah Adumah; This is the statute of the Torah... and they shall take to you a Parah Adumah."  Why does it say, "Zois Chukas HaTorah; This is the statute of the Torah," - instead of "Zois Chukas Parah Adumah; This is the statute of the Parah Adumah,"?
The laws concerning the Parah Adumah are paradoxical. On the one hand, when the mixture is sprinkled, a person who is Tamai becomes Tahor. On the other hand, those who are involved in the preparation of the Parah Adumah become Tamai.
