Deuteronomy 21:5-7

Darby Translation

⁵ and the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them Jehovah thy God hath chosen to do service unto him, and to bless in the name of Jehovah; and according to their word shall be every controversy and every stroke.

⁶ And all the elders of that city, that are nearest unto him that is slain, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck is broken in the watercourse,

⁷ and shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
