Deuteronomy 21:7-9

Brenton(i) 7 and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, and our eyes have not seen it. 8 Be merciful to thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, O Lord, that innocent blood may not be charged on thy people Israel: and the blood shall be atoned for to them. 9 And thou shalt take away innocent blood from among you, if thou shouldest do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord thy God.
