That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 19 of Deuteronomy. Cities of refuge are established to protect anyone who accidentally causes another person’s death. The unintentional killer must be able to reach a city of refuge quickly, while deliberate murder requires a different response. The legislation seeks to prevent both indiscriminate vengeance and impunity by carefully distinguishing the circumstances surrounding the shedding of blood.

auf daß nicht unschuldig Blut in deinem Land vergossen werde, das dir der HERR, dein Gott, zum Erbe gibt, und Blutschulden auf dich kommen.
Porque no sea derramada sangre inocente en medio de tu tierra, que Jehová tu Dios te da por heredad, y sea sobre ti sangre.
para que no se derrame sangre inocente en medio de tu tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da como herencia, y así no recaiga sobre ti culpa de sangre.
afin que le sang innocent ne soit pas répandu au milieu du pays que l'Eternel, ton Dieu, te donne pour héritage, et que tu ne sois pas coupable de meurtre.
acciocchè non si spanda il sangue dell’innocente in mezzo del tuo paese che il Signore Iddio tuo ti dà in eredità; a che tu non sii colpevole di omicidio.
Para que o sangue inocente não se derrame no meio da tua terra, que o SENHOR teu Deus te dá por herança, e haja sangue sobre ti.
免得無辜人的血流在耶和華-你上帝所賜你為業的地中間,血就歸到你身上了。
