( For the LORDE thy God hath chosen them, to serue him, and to prayse his name: and at their mouth shal all plees and strypes be tryed.) 6 And all the Elders of the same cite shall come forth vnto the slayne, & wash their handes ouer ye yonge cowe, whose heade is stricken of in the valley, 7 and shal answere and saie: Oure hades haue not shed this bloude, nether haue oure eyes sene it. 8 Be mercifull (O LORDE) vnto thy people of Israel, who thou hast delyuered, laye no innocent bloude vnto thy people of Israels charge: then shall they be reconcyled from the bloude. 9 Thus shalt thou put awaye the innocent bloude from the, in that thou doest the thinge whis is righte in the sighte of ye LORDE.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they shall answer and say,.... The elders of the city, at the time of the washing of their hands:
our hands have not shed this blood; have been no ways concerned in it, nor accessory to it: the Targum of Jonathan is,
"it is manifest before the Lord that he did not come into our hands, nor did we dismiss him, that has shed this blood;''
which is more fully explained in the Misnah y; for had they been aware of him, or had any suspicion of him or his design, they would have detained him, or at least would not have suffered him to have departed alone:
neither have our eyes seen; it, or him; so the Targum of Jerusalem,
"our eyes have not seen him that hath shed this blood;''
by which expression is meant, that they had no manner of knowledge of the murderer, nor of any circumstance that could lead them to suspect or conclude who he was.
y Ut supra, (Sotah. c. 9.) sect. 6.
