Translation commentary on Deuteronomy 27:25

This is not stated directly elsewhere in Deuteronomy; but see in 16.19 the prohibition against taking bribes; see also Exo 23.6-8. Good News Translation has “anyone who accepts money to murder an innocent person” (similarly Contemporary English Version).
