Deuteronomy 21:6-9
6 All the elders of that city nearest to the dead man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley;
7 and they shall respond, and say, ‘Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it.
8 Forgive Your people Israel whom You have redeemed, O Lord, and do not put the guilt of innocent blood among Your people Israel.’ And the guilt of blood shall be forgiven them.
9 So shall you remove the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when you do what is right in the sight of the Lord.
