Deuteronomy 21:7-9
Common English Bible
7 They will then solemnly state: “Our hands did not shed this blood. Our eyes did not see it happen. 8 Lord, please forgive your people Israel, whom you saved. Don’t put the guilt of innocent bloodshed on your people Israel.”
Then the bloodguilt will be forgiven them.
9 But you must remove[a] innocent bloodshed from your community; do only what is right in the Lord’s eyes.
