Deuteronomy 21:1

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.
