The Law Concerning Unsolved Murder
1 “If anyone is found slain, lying in the field in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess, and it is not known who killed him,
2 then your elders and your judges shall go out and measure the distance from the slain man to the surrounding cities.
3 And it shall be that the elders of the city nearest to the slain man will take a heifer which has not been worked and which has not pulled with a ayoke.
4 The elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with flowing water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and they shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley.
5 Then the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come near, for athe Lord your God has chosen them to minister to Him and to bless in the name of the Lord; bby their word every controversy and every1 assault shall be settled.
