'Slain' in the Bible

When one is found slain on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee to possess it -- fallen in a field -- it is not known who hath smitten him,

then have thine elders and thy judges gone out and measured unto the cities which are round about the slain one,

and it hath been, the city which is near unto the slain one, even the elders of that city have taken a heifer of the herd, which hath not been wrought with, which hath not drawn in the yoke,

and all the elders of that city, who are near unto the slain one, do wash their hands over the heifer which is beheaded in the valley,
