For one witness shall not answer against one person
to put him to death. Moreover ye shall take none amends for the
life of the murderer which is worthy to die: But he shall be put
to death. Also ye shall take none atonement for him that is fled
to a free city, that he should come again and dwell in the land
before the death of the high priest. And see that ye pollute not
the land which ye are in, for blood defileth the land. And the
land can none otherwise be cleansed of the blood that is shed
therein, but by the blood of it that shed it. Defile not therefore
the land which ye inhabit, and in the midst of which I also dwell,
for I am, the LORD which dwell among the children of Israel.
Chapter .xxxvi.
And the ancient heads of the children of Gilead the son of Machir
the son of Manasse of the kindred of the children of Ioseph, came
forth and spake before Moses and the princes which were ancient
heads among the children of Israel and said: The LORD commanded my
lord to give the land to inherit by lot to the children of Israel.
And then my lord commanded in the name of the LORD to give the
inheritance of Zelaphead our brother unto his daughters. Now when
any of the sons of the tribes of Israel take them to wives, then
shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our
fathers, and shall be put unto the inheritance of the tribe in
which they are and shall be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
