"the men prayed to Yahweh"
|
|
|
|
# do not let us perish on account of this man's life

"Please do not kill us because we caused this man to die" or "We are going to cause this man to die. But please do not kill us"

Blood is a metonym for the death of a person, and to put or lay blood on people is to make them responsible for that person's death. Alternate translation: "do not make us responsible for the death of an innocent man" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
