'Innocent' in the Bible

In this way, innocent blood will not be shed, and you will not become guilty of bloodshed in the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.

You must not look on him with pity but purge from Israel the guilt of shedding innocent blood, and you will prosper.

Lord, forgive Your people Israel You redeemed, and do not hold the shedding of innocent blood against them.’ Then they will be absolved of responsibility for bloodshed.

You must purge from yourselves the guilt of shedding innocent blood, for you will be doing what is right in the Lord’s sight.

“If there is a dispute between men, they are to go to court, and the judges will hear their case. They will clear the innocent and condemn the guilty.

‘The one who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person is cursed.’And all the people will say, ‘Amen!’
