Numbers 35:30-34

MSTC(i) 30 Whosoever slayeth, shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses. For one witness shall not answer against one person to put him to death. 31 Moreover ye shall take none amends for the life of the murderer, which is worthy to die: But he shall be put to death. 32 Also ye shall take none atonement for him that is fled to a free city, that he should come again and dwell in the land before the death of the high priest. 33 "'And see that ye pollute not the land which ye are in, for blood defileth the land. And the land can none otherwise be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of it that shed it. 34 Defile not therefore the land which ye inhabit, and in the midst of which I also dwell, for I am the LORD which dwell among the children of Israel.'"
