Numbers 35:33-34

New King James Version

³³ So you shall not pollute the land where you are; for blood ^(A)defiles the land, and no ^[a]atonement can be made for the land, for the blood that is shed on it, except ^(B)by the blood of him who shed it. ³⁴ Therefore ^(C)do not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell; for ^(D)I the Lord dwell among the children of Israel.’ ”
