Speaking of the guilt of Blood, they use not any word to signify guilt, but only say [Greek or Hebrew] it is Blood to him. So David prays deliver me [Greek or Hebrew] from Blood, which we render Blood-guiltiness, Psal. 51.14. And this was, because by the ⟨p. 278⟩Constitution of God, he that was guilty of Blood, was to dye by the hand of the Magistrate, or of God himself.

And other significations of it will be in vain sought for in the old Testament.
