Numbers 35:30-34

Judicial Procedures and Land Purity

Numbers 35:30-34
30
"'If anyone kills someone, the murderer is to be put to death upon the testimony of witnesses; but the testimony of only one witness will not suffice to cause a person to be put to death.
31
Also, you are not to accept a ransom in lieu of the life of a murderer condemned to death; rather, he must be put to death.
32
Likewise, you are not to accept for someone who has fled to his city of refuge a ransom that would allow him to return to his land before the death of the cohen.
33
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.
34
No, you are not to defile the land in which you live and in which I live; for I, ADONAI, live among the people of Isra'el.'"
