Numbers 35:29-31

Common English Bible

²⁹ These will be the regulations and case laws for all time in all your settlements.

³⁰ Anyone who kills another will be executed on the evidence of witnesses. But one witness alone cannot testify against a person for a death sentence. ³¹ You may not accept a ransom for the life of a killer, who is guilty of a capital crime, for he must definitely be put to death.
