Numbers 35:31-34

KJ2000(i) 31 Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer, who is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death. 32 And you shall take no ransom for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest. 33 So you shall not pollute the land in which you are: for blood defiles the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, except by the blood of him that shed it. 34 Defile not therefore the land which you shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
