Numbers 35:33-34

Rotherham(i) 33 So shall ye not pollute the land wherein ye are, for, blood, doth pollute the land,––and, for the land, no propitiatory–covering can be made, as touching blood, that is shed therein, save with the blood of him that shed it; 34 thou must not then make unclean the land wherein, ye, are dwelling, in the midst of which, I, have my habitation; for, I,––Yahweh, am making my habitation in the midst of the sons of Israel.
