Globally, the rate at which people violate the sanctity of human life at this time is alarming. Terrorism, assassination, kidnapping, human trafficking, and abortion are a few instances of this phenomenon. This study concerns itself with the inconsistency between the belief system of ancient Israel and Yoruba people on the worth of human life and what the peoples practice in reality. Thus, the study aims at comparing the cultural understanding of the subject matter in Numbers 35:9-34 with that of Yoruba worldview to identify and correct defiant behaviour among the modern-day Yoruba people. The writer employed the analytical research design: using an eclectic technique that consists of the historical-critical and grammatical methods to investigate the Worth of human life in Numbers 35:9-34 from the viewpoints of literature, grammar, and exegesis. This concentration is with a particular reference to the Hebrew verb ratsach. Also, the writer examined both the context of the Yoruba people and the contents of their worldview: covering their philosophy, rituals, vocabulary, social relations, and political life.
