30 ‘Whoever kills someone has to be put to death as a murderer by the mouth of witnesses, but only one witness does not bear witness against someone to die.
31 ‘And take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death, but he shall certainly be put to death.
32 ‘And take no ransom for him who has fled to his city of refuge to return to dwell in the land before the death of the priest.
33 ‘And do not profane the land where you are, for blood profanes the land, and the land is not pardoned for the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of him who shed it.
34 ‘And do not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell, for I, יהוה, am dwelling in the midst of the children of Yisra’ĕl.’ ”
