⁸ Please Lord, accept this animal from your people, Israel, that you have rescued. Do not say that we are guilty of this murder. This person did not deserve to die like this.’

When they do that, the Lord will accept their gift and he will forgive you. ⁹ In this way, you will not be guilty of the murder. You will remove this evil act from among you. You must do what the Lord says is right.
