'Victim' in the Bible

“If a murder victim is found lying in a field in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess, and it is not known who killed him,

your elders and judges must come out and measure the distance from the victim to the nearby cities.

The elders of the city nearest to the victim are to get a young cow that has not been yoked or used for work.

All the elders of the city nearest to the victim will wash their hands by the stream over the young cow whose neck has been broken.
