Deuteronomy 21:6-8

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ “And all the elders of that city that came near the killed man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley.

⁷ “And they shall testify, and say, ‘Our hands have not shed this blood, nor have our eyes seen it.

⁸ ‘O LORD, be merciful to Your people Israel, whom You have redeemed. And lay no innocent blood to the charge of Your people Israel.’ And the blood shall be forgiven them.
