In context
3 Kisha wazee wa mji ulio karibu na mwili wa marehemu wanapaswa kuchukua mtamba kutoka kwenye kundi la mifugo, ambaye hajawahi kutumikishwa, wala kubebeshwa nira.
4 Kisha wanapaswa kumuongoza mtamba huyo mpaka chini ya bonde litiririkalo maji, bonde ambalo halijawahi kulimwa wala kupandwa, na mle bondeni wanapaswa kuvunja shingo ya mtamba huyo.
5 Makuhani, uzao wa Lawi, wanapaswa kuja mbele, kwa maana Yahwe Mungu wako amewachagua wamtumikie yeye na kutoa baraka katika jina la Yahwe na kuamua kila mtafaruku na ugomvi kwa neno lao.
6 Wazee wote wa mji ulio karibu na mtu aliyeuawa wanapaswa kunawa mikono yao juu ya mtamba aliyevunjwa shingo bondeni;
7 na wanapaswa kutoa suhulisho juu ya jambo hilo na kusema, ‘Mikono yetu haijamwaga damu hii, wala macho yetu hayajaona suala hili.
8 Tusamehe watu wako Israeli, Yahwe, ambao umewakomboa, na usiweke hatia juu ya umwagaji damu usio na kosa miongoni mwa watu wako Israeli. ’ Kisha umwagaji damu utasamehewa kwao.
9 Kwa njia hii utaweka mbali umwagaji damu usio na hatia miongoni mwenu, mtakapofanya yaliyo mema machoni pa YAHWE.
