Deuteronomy 19:4-7

4Now thisH2088 is the situationH1697 regarding the manslayerH7523 whoH834 fleesH5127 to one of these cities to save his lifeH2421, having killedH5221 his neighborH7453 accidentallyH1097H1847H1931, withoutH3808 intending to harmH8130 him: 5IfH834 he goesH935 into the forestH3293 withH854 his neighborH7453 to cutH2404 timberH6086 and swingsH3027H5080 his axeH1631 to chop downH3772 a treeH6086, but the blade flies offH5394H1270H4480 the handleH6086 and strikesH4672 and killsH4191 his neighborH7453, heH1931 may fleeH5127 toH413 oneH259 of theseH428 citiesH5892 to save his lifeH2421.

6OtherwiseH6435, the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 might pursueH7291 the manslayerH7523 in a rageH3824, overtake himH5381 ifH3588 the distanceH1870 is greatH7235, and strike himH5221 deadH5315 though he did notH369 deserveH4941 to dieH4194, sinceH3588 heH1931 did notH3808 intend any harmH8130H8543H8032. 7This is whyH5921H3651 IH595 am commandingH6680H559 you to set apartH914 for yourselves threeH7969 citiesH5892.
