Ulangan 19:13

19:13 You must not pity him, but purge out the blood of the innocent ¹  from Israel, so that it may go well with you.

Ulangan 28:21

28:21 The Lord will plague you with deadly diseases ²  until he has completely removed you from the land you are about to possess.

[19:13]  ¹ sn Purge out the blood of the innocent. Because of the corporate nature of Israel’s community life, the whole community shared in the guilt of unavenged murder unless and until vengeance occurred. Only this would restore spiritual and moral equilibrium (Num 35:33).

[28:21]  ² tn Heb “will cause pestilence to cling to you.”
