NUMBERS | 35:31 ransom — NUM422 When someone is found guilty of murder, do...

NUM422 When someone is found guilty of murder, do not accept a money payment in exchange for the death penalty. If it were permitted to accept ransom and thereby exempt murderers from the death penalty, men of wealth in moments of anger would kill people and later would use their money to save themselves from the punishment. The swords of the wealthy would drip with blood, and social order would be destroyed.
