Numbers 35:29-31

New International Reader's Version

²⁹ “ ‘This is what the law requires of you for all time to come. It will apply to you no matter where you live.

³⁰ “ ‘Suppose a person kills someone. Then that person must be put to death as a murderer. But do it only when there are witnesses who can tell what happened. Do not put anyone to death if only one witness tells what happened.

³¹ “ ‘Do not accept payment for a murderer’s life. A murderer deserves to die. They must certainly be put to death.
