Deuteronomy 21:7-9
Evangelical Heritage Version
7 Then they are to testify by saying, “Our hands did not pour out this blood, and our eyes did not observe it. 8 Atone, Lord, for your people whom you have redeemed, and do not charge us with taking innocent life among your people Israel.” Then their bloodguilt will be atoned for.
9 In this way you will purge away from among you the guilt of shedding the blood of an innocent person by doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord.
