Numbers 35:33-34

Common English Bible

³³ You may not pollute the land in which you live, for the blood pollutes the land. There can be no recovery^[a] for the land from the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of the one who shed it. ³⁴ You will not make the land in which you live unclean, the land in the middle of which I reside, for I the Lord reside among the Israelites.
