If one be foundH4672 slainH2491 in the landH127 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee to possessH3423 it, lyingH5307 in the fieldH7704, and it be not knownH3045 who hath slainH5221 him:
Then thy eldersH2205 and thy judgesH8199 shall come forthH3318, and they shall measureH4058 unto the citiesH5892 which are round aboutH5439 him that is slainH2491:
And it shall be, that the cityH5892 which is nextH7138 unto the slain manH2491, even the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892 shall takeH3947 an heiferH1241+H5697, which hath not been wrought withH5647, and which hath not drawnH4900 in the yokeH5923;
And the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892 shall bring downH3381 the heiferH5697 unto a roughH386 valleyH5158, which is neither earedH5647 nor sownH2232, and shall strike offH6202 the heifer'sH5697 neckH6202 there in the valleyH5158:
And the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 shall come nearH5066; for them the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 to ministerH8334 unto him, and to blessH1288 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068; and by their wordH6310 shall every controversyH7379 and every strokeH5061 be tried: {word: Heb. mouth}
And all the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892, that are nextH7138 unto the slainH2491 man, shall washH7364 their handsH3027 over the heiferH5697 that is beheadedH6202 in the valleyH5158:
And they shall answerH6030 and sayH559, Our handsH3027 have not shedH8210 this bloodH1818, neither have our eyesH5869 seenH7200 it.
Be mercifulH3722, O LORDH3068, unto thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whom thou hast redeemedH6299, and layH5414 not innocentH5355 bloodH1818 unto thy peopleH5971 of Israel'sH3478 chargeH7130. And the bloodH1818 shall be forgivenH3722 them. {unto thy people of: Heb. in the midst, etc}
So shalt thou put awayH1197 the guilt of innocentH5355 bloodH1818 from amongH7130 you, when thou shalt doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
When thou goest forthH3318 to warH4421 against thine enemiesH341, and the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath deliveredH5414 them into thine handsH3027, and thou hast takenH7617 them captiveH7628,
And seestH7200 among the captivesH7633 a beautifulH8389+H3303 womanH802, and hast a desireH2836 unto her, that thou wouldest have herH3947 to thy wifeH802;
Then thou shalt bringH935 her homeH8432 to thine houseH1004; and she shall shaveH1548 her headH7218, and pareH6213 her nailsH6856; {pare: or, suffer to grow: Heb. make, or, dress}
And she shall putH5493 the raimentH8071 of her captivityH7628 from off her, and shall remainH3427 in thine houseH1004, and bewailH1058 her fatherH1 and her motherH517 a fullH3117 monthH3391: and afterH310 that thou shalt goH935 in unto her, and be her husbandH1166, and she shall be thy wifeH802.
And it shall be, if thou have no delightH2654 in her, then thou shalt let her goH7971 whither she willH5315; but thou shalt not sellH4376 her at allH4376 for moneyH3701, thou shalt not make merchandiseH6014 of her, becauseH834 thou hast humbledH6031 her.
If a manH376 have twoH8147 wivesH802, oneH259 belovedH157, and anotherH259 hatedH8130, and they have bornH3205 him childrenH1121, both the belovedH157 and the hatedH8130; and if the firstbornH1060 sonH1121 be hers that was hatedH8146:
Then it shall be, whenH3117 he maketh his sonsH1121 to inheritH5157 that which he hath, that he mayH3201 not make the sonH1121 of the belovedH157 firstbornH1069 beforeH6440 the sonH1121 of the hatedH8130, which is indeed the firstbornH1060:
But he shall acknowledgeH5234 the sonH1121 of the hatedH8130 for the firstbornH1060, by givingH5414 him a doubleH8147 portionH6310 of all that he hathH4672: for he is the beginningH7225 of his strengthH202; the rightH4941 of the firstbornH1062 is his. {that…: Heb. that is found with him}
If a manH376 have a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 sonH1121, which will not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of his fatherH1, or the voiceH6963 of his motherH517, and that, when they have chastenedH3256 him, will not hearkenH8085 unto them:
Then shall his fatherH1 and his motherH517 lay holdH8610 on him, and bring him outH3318 unto the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892, and unto the gateH8179 of his placeH4725;
And they shall sayH559 unto the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892, This our sonH1121 is stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784, he will not obeyH8085 our voiceH6963; he is a gluttonH2151, and a drunkardH5433.
And all the menH582 of his cityH5892 shall stoneH7275 him with stonesH68, that he dieH4191: so shalt thou putH1197 evilH7451 awayH1197 from amongH7130 you; and all IsraelH3478 shall hearH8085, and fearH3372.
And if a manH376 have committed a sinH2399 worthy ofH4941 deathH4194, and he be to be put to deathH4191, and thou hangH8518 him on a treeH6086:
His bodyH5038 shall not remain all nightH3885 upon the treeH6086, but thou shalt in any wiseH6912 buryH6912 him that dayH3117; (for he that is hangedH8518 is accursedH7045 of GodH430;) that thy landH127 be not defiledH2930, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee for an inheritanceH5159. {accursed…: Heb. the curse of God}

So ye shall not polluteH2610 the landH776 wherein ye are: for bloodH1818 it defilethH2610 the landH776: and the landH776 cannot be cleansedH3722 of the bloodH1818 that is shedH8210 therein, but by the bloodH1818 of him that shedH8210 it. {the land cannot…: Heb. there can be no expiation for the land}
And afterwardH310 when DavidH1732 heardH8085 it, he saidH559, I and my kingdomH4467 are guiltlessH5355 before the LORDH3068 forH5704 everH5769 from the bloodH1818 of AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369: {blood: Heb. bloods}
And also for the innocentH5355 bloodH1818 that he shedH8210: for he filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 with innocentH5355 bloodH1818; which the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not pardonH5545.
But knowH3045 ye for certainH3045, that if ye put me to deathH4191, ye shall surely bringH5414 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 upon yourselves, and upon this cityH5892, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof: for of a truthH571 the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me unto you to speakH1696 all these wordsH1697 in your earsH241.
And they committed whoredomsH2181 in EgyptH4714; they committed whoredomsH2181 in their youthH5271: there were their breastsH7699 pressedH4600, and there they bruisedH6213 the teatsH1717 of their virginityH1331.
And they shall comeH935 against thee with chariotsH2021, wagonsH7393, and wheelsH1534, and with an assemblyH6951 of peopleH5971, which shall setH7760 against thee bucklerH6793 and shieldH4043 and helmetH6959 round aboutH5439: and I will setH5414 judgmentH4941 beforeH6440 them, and they shall judgeH8199 thee according to their judgmentsH4941.
And I will setH5414 my jealousyH7068 against thee, and they shall dealH6213 furiouslyH2534 with thee: they shall take awayH5493 thy noseH639 and thine earsH241; and thy remnantH319 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719: they shall takeH3947 thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323; and thy residueH319 shall be devouredH398 by the fireH784.
Wherefore they criedH7121 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, We beseech theeH577, O LORDH3068, we beseech thee, let us not perishH6 for this man'sH376 lifeH5315, and layH5414 not upon us innocentH5355 bloodH1818: for thou, O LORDH3068, hast doneH6213 as it pleasedH2654 thee.
