Deuteronomy 21:1-3 ▼

1 “If someone is found slain, lying in the field, in the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess, and it is not known who has killed him,

2 then your elders and judges shall go out and measure the distance to the cities which are around the dead person.

3 It shall be that the elders of the city which is nearest to the dead man shall take a heifer of the herd, one which has not been worked and which has not pulled in a yoke;
