And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
Y responderán y dirán: 'Nuestras manos no derramaron esta sangre, y nuestros ojos no vieron que sucediera.'
Los ancianos declaran solemnemente su inocencia ante el homicidio no resuelto.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Israel, under the Mosaic Law given to Moses, if a slain person was found in the open fields and the murderer could not be identified, the elders of the nearest town were required to perform a ritual to remove bloodguilt from the community. This ceremony involved sacrificing a heifer and making a public declaration of innocence to affirm that neither they nor their community were involved in the crime. The statement in Deuteronomy 21:7 specifically served as a way to uphold justice and maintain the holiness of the land by denying any direct or indirect responsibility for the bloodshed.
