33 You shall not ^mpollute the land in which you live, for blood ^mpollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, except ⁿby the blood of the one who shed it. 34 ^oYou shall not defile the land in which you live, in the midst of which I dwell, ^pfor I the Lord dwell in the midst of the people of Israel.”
