Numbers 35:33

So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye [are]: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.

So ye shall not pollute {H2610} the land {H776} wherein ye are: for blood {H1818} it defileth {H2610} the land {H776}: and the land {H776} cannot be cleansed {H3722} of the blood {H1818} that is shed {H8210} therein, but by the blood {H1818} of him that shed {H8210} it.

In this way you will not defile the land in which you are living. For blood defiles the land, and in this land no atonement can be made for the blood shed in it except the blood of him who shed it.

Do not pollute the land where you live, for bloodshed pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land on which the blood is shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it.

So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood, it polluteth the land; and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
