Witnesses, ransom, and the land not to be polluted
증인과 속전과 땅을 더럽히지 말라는 말씀
Numbers 35:30–34: a murderer is to be put to death on the word of witnesses, but not on the testimony of one witness alone; no ransom is to be taken for the life of a murderer guilty of death, nor for one who has fled to a city of refuge, that he may return before the death of the priest. Blood pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land for blood shed in it except by the blood of the one who shed it; they are not to defile the land in which the LORD dwells among the children of Israel.

30“‘Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain based on the testimony of witnesses; but one witness shall not testify alone against any person so that he dies.
31“‘Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death. He shall surely be put to death.
32“‘You shall take no ransom for him who has fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land before the death of the priest.
33“‘So you shall not pollute the land where you live; for blood pollutes the land. No atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, but by the blood of him who shed it.
34You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, where I dwell; for I, the LORD, dwell among the children of Israel.’”
