New Testament

Deuteronomy 19:10-15 Amplified Bible (AMP)

10. Lest innocent blood be shed in your land, which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance, and so blood guilt be upon you.

11. But if any man hates his neighbor and lies in wait for him, and attacks him and wounds him mortally so that he dies, and the assailant flees into one of these cities,

12. Then the elders of his own city shall send for him and fetch him from there and give him over to the avenger of blood, so that he may die.

13. Your eyes shall not pity him, but you shall clear Israel of the guilt of innocent blood, that it may go well with you.

14. You shall not remove your neighbor's landmark in the land which the Lord your God gives you to possess, which the men of old [the first dividers of the land] set.

15. One witness shall not prevail against a man for any crime or any wrong in connection with any sin he commits; only on the testimony of two or three witnesses shall a charge be established.
