Laws Concerning Unsolved Murder
21:1If a homicide victim1 should be found lying in a field in the land the Lord your God is giving you,2 and no one knows who killed3 him,
Footnotes
- 1 Heb “slain [one].” The term חָלָל (khalal) suggests something other than a natural death (cf. Num 19:16; 23:24; Jer 51:52; Ezek 26:15; 30:24; 31:17–18).
- 2 The Hebrew text includes “to possess it,” but this has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.
- 3 Heb “struck,” but in context a fatal blow is meant; cf. “who committed the murder.”
