Numbers 35:31-33
1599 Geneva Bible
31 Moreover ye shall take no recompense for the life of the murderer, which is [a]worthy to die: but he shall be put to death.
32 Also ye shall take no recompense for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again, and dwell in the land, before the death of the high Priest.
33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye shall dwell: for [b]blood defileth the land: and the land cannot be [c]cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
