then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth. And they shall measure to the cities which are round about him who is slain,
If a man is found slain in the land which LORD thy God gives thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it not be known who has smitten him,
and it shall be, that the city which is nearest to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which has not been worked with, and which has not drawn in the yoke,
