'Innocent' in the Bible
We will be innocent if we carefully keep all these commandments before the Lord our God, just as he demands."
You must not shed innocent blood in your land that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, for that would make you guilty.
You must not pity him, but purge out the blood of the innocent from Israel, so that it may go well with you.
Do not blame your people Israel whom you redeemed, O Lord, and do not hold them accountable for the bloodshed of an innocent person." Then atonement will be made for the bloodshed.
In this manner you will purge out the guilt of innocent blood from among you, for you must do what is right before the Lord.
If controversy arises between people, they should go to court for judgment. When the judges hear the case, they shall exonerate the innocent but condemn the guilty.
Cursed is the one who takes a bribe to kill an innocent person.' Then all the people will say, 'Amen!'
