Numbers 35:33-34

Revised Geneva Translation

³³ ‘So you shall not pollute the land in which you shall dwell. For blood defiles the land. And the land can only be cleansed of the blood that is shed upon it but by the blood of he who shed it.

³⁴ ‘Therefore, do not defile the land which you shall inhabit. For I dwell in its midst. For I, the LORD, dwell among the children of Israel.’”
