innocent (blood)—blood shed unjustly, belonging to one who is guiltless or undeserving of death
This adjective describes blood that is 'innocent' or 'guiltless'—blood shed from someone who did not deserve to die. The phrase 'innocent blood' appears in Joel 3:19 (referring to violence done to Judah) and Jonah 1:14 (where the sailors plead not to be held responsible for Jonah's death). This is a Ketiv (written) form; the Qere (read) text has the more common form of the word. The concept of innocent blood is significant in biblical ethics, as shedding such blood brings guilt and divine judgment upon the perpetrator or the community.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — This adjectival form modifies 'blood' (dam) to create the phrase 'innocent blood,' referring to blood shed from those who are guiltless or undeserving of death. In Joel 3:19, it describes the violence perpetrated against Judah, while in Jonah 1:14, the sailors use it to plead their case before God, asking not to be charged with Jonah's innocent blood if they throw him overboard. The translations uniformly render this as 'innocent' (Spanish 'inocente,' French 'innocent'), capturing the moral dimension of bloodshed that is unjust or unwarranted. 2×
