⁷and they shall declare, “Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it.

⁸Accept this atonement, O LORD, for Your people Israel whom You have redeemed, and do not hold the shedding of innocent blood against them.” And the bloodshed will be atoned for.

⁹So you shall purge from among you the guilt of shedding innocent blood, since you have done what is right in the eyes of the LORD.
