“If in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess someone is found slain, lying in the open country, and it is not known who killed him,
For behold, the Lord is coming out from his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity, and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it, and will no more cover its slain.
When the native people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”
If one is burdened with the blood of another, he will be a fugitive until death; let no one help him.
For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
You destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
