Deuteronomy 21:7KJV
Protestant Bible · KJV · Verse 7 of 23
"And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen ."
In context
5And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be :
6And all the elders of that city, next unto the slain , shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
7And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen .
8Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
9So shalt thou put away the innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do right in the sight of the LORD.
