Numbers
Chapters 35:31-34
Revised Version 1885
31Moreover ye shall take no ransom for the life of a manslayer, which is guilty of death: but he shall surely be put to death.
32And ye shall take no ransom for him that is fled to his city of refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
33So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood, it polluteth the land: and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
34And thou shalt not defile the land which ye inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell: for I the Lord dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.
