Numbers 35:33-34

International Standard Version

³³ You are not to pollute the land where you live, because blood defiles the land, and the land cannot atone for blood that has been spilled on it, except through the blood of the one who spilled it. ³⁴ You are not to defile the land where you will be living, because I’m living among you. I am the Lord, who lives in Israel.”
