You are not to accept a ransom for the life of a murderer who deserves to die; he must surely be put to death. Context 31‘Moreover, you shall not take ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death, but he shall surely be put to death. 32‘You shall not take ransom for him who has fled to his city of refuge, that he may return to live in the land before the death of the priest. 33‘So you shall not pollute the land in which you are; for blood pollutes the land and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of him who shed it. 34‘You shall not defile the land in which you live, in the midst of which I dwell; for I the LORD am dwelling in the midst of the sons of Israel.’” Links Numbers 35:31 NIVNumbers 35:31 NLT Numbers 35:31 ESV Numbers 35:31 NASB Numbers 35:31 KJV Numbers 35:31 Commentaries Bible Hub |
