the_o 33._o v._o of_o this_o chapter_n this_o be_v give_v as_o the_o reason_n why_o no_o satisfaction_n may_v be_v take_v for_o the_o life_n of_o a_o murderer_n so_o shall_v you_o not_o pollute_v the_o land_n wherein_o you_o be_v for_o blood_n it_o defile_v the_o land_n and_o the_o land_n can_v be_v cleanse_v of_o the_o blood_n that_o be_v shed_v therein_o but_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o he_o

that_o mercy_n to_o a_o murderer_n be_v cruelty_n to_o a_o people_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v concern_v the_o murderer_n thy_o eye_n shall_v not_o pity_v he_o but_o thou_o shall_v put_v away_o the_o
