Bible Verses About Murder: Imputed to the nearest city when the murderer was unknown

If someone is found slain in the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess, lying in the field, and it isn’t known who has struck him;

then your elders and your judges shall come out, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is slain.

It shall be that the elders of the city which is nearest to the slain man shall take a heifer of the herd, which hasn’t been worked with, and which has not drawn in the yoke.
