Exegesis
The prohibition we-al-titten {וְאַל־תִּתֵּן | wəʾal-tittēn} ‘and do not give’ + dam nāqi {דָּם נָקִי | dām nāqī} ‘innocent blood’ functions as a legal injunction against laying guilt for innocent life.
In context — Deuteronomy 21:8
Atone for Your people Israel, whom You have redeemed, O LORD , and do not place innocent blood in the midst of Your people Israel. Then the blood shall be atoned for them.
