Exegesis
Finally, the conjunctive clause vehayah aleikha damim {וְהָיָה עָלֶיךָ דָּמִים | wə-hā-yāh ʿā-lê-ḵā dā-mîm} ‘and there will be upon you bloodguilt’ presents the legal-theological consequence, with English word order adjusted for clarity while preserving the Hebrew discourse hierarchy.
In context — Deuteronomy 19:10
And let not innocent blood be shed in the midst of your land which the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that there will not be bloodguilt upon you.
