'Innocent' in the Bible
So innocent blood will not be shed in the midst of your land which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance, and bloodguiltiness be on you.
You shall not pity him, but you shall purge the blood of the innocent from Israel, that it may go well with you.
Forgive Your people Israel whom You have redeemed, O Lord, and do not place the guilt of innocent blood in the midst of Your people Israel.’ And the bloodguiltiness shall be forgiven them.
So you shall remove the guilt of innocent blood from your midst, when you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.
‘Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to strike down an innocent person.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
