Exegesis
The verb yishafekh {יִשָּׁפֵךְ | yiš-šā-p̄ēḵ} ‘it will be shed’ in the niphal passive highlights the consequence rather than the direct agent, maintaining the emphasis on innocent blood as the grammatical subject.
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.
