Deuteronomy 21:1-9

If [one] be found
<04672> (8735)
slain
<02491>
in the land
<0127>
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8802)
thee to possess
<03423> (8800)
it, lying
<05307> (8802)
in the field
<07704>_,
[and] it be not known
<03045> (8738)
who hath slain
<05221> (8689)
him:
Then thy elders
<02205>
and thy judges
<08199> (8802)
shall come forth
<03318> (8804)_,
and they shall measure
<04058> (8804)
unto the cities
<05892>
which [are] round about
<05439>
him that is slain
<02491>_:
And it shall be, [that] the city
<05892>
[which is] next
<07138>
unto the slain man
<02491>_,
even the elders
<02205>
of that city
<05892>
shall take
<03947> (8804)
an heifer
<01241> <05697>_,
which hath not been wrought with
<05647> (8795)_,
[and] which hath not drawn
<04900> (8804)
in the yoke
<05923>_;
And the elders
<02205>
of that city
<05892>
shall bring down
<03381> (8689)
the heifer
<05697>
unto a rough
<0386>
valley
<05158>_,
which is neither eared
<05647> (8735)
nor sown
<02232> (8735)_,
and shall strike off
<06202> (0)
the heifer's
<05697>
neck
<06202> (8804)
there in the valley
<05158>_:
And the priests
<03548>
the sons
<01121>
of Levi
<03878>
shall come near
<05066> (8738)_;
for them the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
hath chosen
<0977> (8804)
to minister
<08334> (8763)
unto him, and to bless
<01288> (8763)
in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and by their word
<06310>
shall every controversy
<07379>
and every stroke
<05061>
be [tried]: {word: Heb. mouth}
And all the elders
<02205>
of that city
<05892>_,
[that are] next
<07138>
unto the slain
<02491>
[man], shall wash
<07364> (8799)
their hands
<03027>
over the heifer
<05697>
that is beheaded
<06202> (8803)
in the valley
<05158>_:
And they shall answer
<06030> (8804)
and say
<0559> (8804)_,
Our hands
<03027>
have not shed
<08210> (8804)
this blood
<01818>_,
neither have our eyes
<05869>
seen
<07200> (8804)
[it].
Be merciful
<03722> (8761)_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
unto thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
whom thou hast redeemed
<06299> (8804)_,
and lay
<05414> (8799)
not innocent
<05355>
blood
<01818>
unto thy people
<05971>
of Israel's
<03478>
charge
<07130>_.
And the blood
<01818>
shall be forgiven
<03722> (8694)
them. {unto thy people of: Heb. in the midst, etc}
So shalt thou put away
<01197> (8762)
the [guilt of] innocent
<05355>
blood
<01818>
from among
<07130>
you, when thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)
[that which is] right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
