'Shedding' in the Bible

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.
