1 “When there will have been found in the land, which the Lord your God will give to you, the corpse of a man who has been killed, and it is not known who is guilty of the murder, 2 your judges and those greater by birth shall go out and measure, from the place of the corpse, the distance to each of the surrounding cities. 3 And in whichever one they perceive to be closer than the others, the elders shall take a calf from the herd, one which has not pulled with a yoke, nor tilled with a plow. 4 And they shall lead it into a rough and stony valley, one which has never been tilled or sown. And in that place, they shall cut the neck of the calf. Deuteronomy 21:1-4, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
