Judicial Procedures and Land Purity
Numbers 35:30-34
30
whoso smiteth a person, by the mouth of witnesses doth one slay the murderer; and one witness doth not testify against a person--to die.
31
`And ye take no atonement for the life of a murderer who is condemned--to die, for he is certainly put to death;
32
and ye take no atonement for him to flee unto the city of his refuge, to turn back to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
33
`And ye profane not the land which ye are in, for blood profaneth the land; as to the land, it is not pardoned for blood which is shed in it except by the blood of him who sheddeth it;
34
and ye defile not the land in which ye are dwelling, in the midst of which I do tabernacle, for I Jehovah do tabernacle in the midst of the sons of Israel.'
