Text -- Numbers 35:27-34 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
35:27 and the avenger of blood finds him outside the borders of the town of refuge , and the avenger of blood kills the slayer , he will not be guilty of blood ,
35:28 because the slayer should have stayed in his town of refuge until the death of the high priest . But after the death of the high priest , the slayer may return to the land of his possessions .
35:29 So these things must be a statutory ordinance for you throughout your generations , in all the places where you live .
35:30 “Whoever kills any person , the murderer must be put to death by the testimony of witnesses ; but one witness cannot testify against any person to cause him to be put to death .
35:31 Moreover, you must not accept a ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death ; he must surely be put to death .
35:32 And you must not accept a ransom for anyone who has fled to a town of refuge , to allow him to return home and live on his own land before the death of the high priest .
35:33 “You must not pollute the land where you live, for blood defiles the land , and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed there, except by the blood of the person who shed it.
35:34 Therefore do not defile the land that you will inhabit , in which I live , for I the Lord live among the Israelites .”
