Bloodguiltiness blud-gilt'-i-nes: Found in the King James Version only in Ps 51:14. The Revised Version (British and American) adds Exo 22:2, Exo 22:3, 1Sa 25:26, 1Sa 25:33. Eze 18:13 seems to indicate that the phrase does not necessarily signify bloodshed, but any grievous sin which, if it remains, will block God's favor to His land and people (compare Deu 21:8, Isa 1:15). Psa 51 is to be interpreted in this light.
