Deuteronomy 21:6

And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:

And all the elders of that city, who are nearest unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley;

All the elders of that city, who are nearest to the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley;
