"Apabila di tanah yang diberikan TUHAN, Allahmu, kepadamu untuk menjadi milikmu, terdapat seorang yang mati terbunuh di padang, dengan tidak diketahui siapa yang membunuhnya,
Sebermula, maka apabila didapati akan seorang yang kena tikam dalam negeri yang akan dikaruniakan Tuhan, Allahmu, kepadamu akan milikmu pusaka, maka orang mati itu terhantar di padang dengan tiada ketahuan siapa yang membunuh dia,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
If one be found slain,.... After public war with an enemy, Moses proceeds to speak of a private quarrel and fight of one man with another, in which one is slain, as Aben Ezra observes:
in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it; where murders might be committed more secretly, and remain undiscovered, when they came to live in separate cities, towns, and villages, with fields adjacent to them, than now encamped together:
lying in the field; where the quarrel begun, and where the fight was fought: or, however, where the murderer met with his enemy, and slew him, and left him; it being common for duels to be fought, and murders committed in a field; the first murder in the world was committed in such a place, Genesis 4:8. The Targum of Jonathan is,
"not hidden under an heap, not hanging on a tree, nor swimming on the face of the waters;''
which same things are observed in the Misnah i, and gathered from some words in the text:
in the land, and so not under a heap;
lying, and so not hanging;
in the field, and so not swimming on the water:
and it be not known who hath slain him; the parties being alone, and no witnesses of the fact, at least that appear; for, if it was known, the heifer was not beheaded, later mentioned k; and one witness in this case was sufficient, and even one that was not otherwise admitted.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXI
If a man be found slain in a field, and the cause of his death
be unknown, the murder shall be expiated by the sacrifice of a
heifer in an uncultivated valley, 1-4.
The rites to be used on the occasion, 5-9.
The ordinance concerning marriage with a captive, 10-14.
The law relative to the children of the hated and beloved wives:
if the son of the hated wife should be the first-born he shall
not be disinherited by the son of the beloved wife, but shall
have a double portion of all his father's goods, 15-18.
The law concerning the stubborn and rebellious son, who, when
convicted, is to be stoned to death, 19-21.
Of the person who is to be hanged, 22.
His body shall not be left on the tree all night; every one that
is hanged on a tree is accursed of God, 23.
