Deuteronomy 21:7-9

CAB(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 Your people Israel, O Lord, whom You have redeemed, that innocent blood may not be charged on Your people Israel; and atonement shall be provided on their behalf for the blood. 9 And you shall take away innocent blood from among you, if you should do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.
