Deuteronomy 21
If
one
be
found
slain
in
the
land
which
the
Lord
thy
God
giveth
thee
to
possess
it,
lying
in
the
field,
and
it
be
not
known
who
hath
slain
him:
2 Then
thy
elders
and
thy
judges
shall
come
forth,
and
they
shall
measure
a
unto
the
cities
which
are
round
about
him
that
is
slain:
3 And
it
shall
be,
that
the
city
which
is
next
unto
the
slain
man,
even
the
elders
of
that
city
shall
take
an
heifer,
which
hath
not
been
a
wrought
with,
and
which
hath
not
drawn
in
the
yoke;
4 And
the
elders
of
that
city
shall
bring
down
the
heifer
unto
a
rough
valley,
which
is
neither
a
eared
nor
sown,
and
shall
b
strike
off
the
heifer's
neck
there
in
the
valley:
5 And
the
priests
the
sons
of
Levi
shall
come
near;
for
them
the
Lord
thy
God
hath
chosen
to
minister
unto
him,
and
to
bless
in
the
name
of
the
Lord;
and
by
their
word
shall
every
controversy
and
every
a
stroke
be
tried:
6 And
all
the
elders
of
that
city,
that
are
next
unto
the
slain
man,
shall
wash
their
hands
over
the
heifer
a
that
is
beheaded
in
the
valley:
7 And
they
shall
answer
and
say,
Our
hands
have
not
shed
this
blood,
neither
have
our
eyes
seen
it.
8
a
Be
merciful,
O
Lord,
unto
thy
people
Israel,
whom
thou
hast
b
redeemed,
and
lay
not
innocent
blood
unto
thy
people
of
Israel's
charge.
And
the
blood
shall
be
forgiven
them.
9 So
shalt
thou
put
away
the
guilt
of
innocent
blood
from
among
you,
when
thou
shalt
do
that
which
is
right
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord.
