Numbers 35:30-32
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Judgment. 30 Whenever someone kills another, the evidence of witnesses is required to kill the murderer.(A) A single witness does not suffice for putting a person to death.
No Indemnity. 31 You will not accept compensation in place of the life of a murderer who deserves to die, but that person must be put to death. 32 Nor will you accept compensation to allow one who has fled to a city of asylum to return to live in the land before the death of the high priest.
