Numbers 35:33-34

New American Standard Bible

^33 (A)So you shall not defile the land in which you live; for blood defiles the land, and no atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed on it, except ^(B)by the blood of the one who shed it. ³⁴ So you shall not ^(C)defile the land in which you live, in the midst of which ^(D)I dwell; for I the Lord am dwelling in the midst of the sons of Israel.’”
