Deuteronomy 21:1

Deu 21:1 If [one] be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, [and] it be not known who hath slain him:

Ver. 1. In the field. ] Or elsewhere; the field is instanced, because in places more frequented, murders are not so easily concealed, or so commonly committed.
