Numbers 35:9-21

9Then the LORDH3068 saidH1696 toH413 MosesH4872H559, 10“SpeakH1696 toH413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 and tell themH559H413: WhenH3588 youH859 crossH5674 the JordanH3383 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667, 11designateH7136 citiesH5892 to serve asH1961 your citiesH5892 of refugeH4733, so that a personH7523 who killsH5221 someoneH5315 unintentionallyH7684 may fleeH5127 thereH8033. 12You are to haveH1961 these citiesH5892 as a refugeH4733 from the avengerH1350, so that the manslayerH7523 will notH3808 dieH4191 untilH5704 he standsH5975 trialH4941 beforeH6440 the assemblyH5712.

13The citiesH5892 you selectH5414 will beH1961 your sixH8337 citiesH5892 of refugeH4733. 14Select threeH7969 citiesH5892H5414 acrossH5676 the JordanH3383 and threeH7969 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 asH1961 citiesH5892 of refugeH4733. 15TheseH428 sixH8337 citiesH5892 will serveH1961 as a refugeH4733 for the IsraelitesH1121H3478 and for the foreignerH1616 or strangerH8453 among themH8432, so that anyoneH3605 who killsH5221 a personH5315 unintentionallyH7684 may fleeH5127 thereH8033.

16If, howeverH518, anyone strikesH5221 a person with an ironH1270 objectH3627 and kills himH4191, heH1931 is a murdererH7523; the murdererH7523 must surely be put to deathH4191. 17Or ifH518 anyone has in his handH3027 a stoneH68 of deadly sizeH4191, and he strikesH5221 and kills anotherH4191, he is a murdererH7523; the murdererH7523 must surely be put to deathH4191. 18IfH176 anyone has in his handH3027 a deadlyH4191 objectH3627 of woodH6086, and he strikesH5221 and kills anotherH4191, he is a murdererH7523; the murdererH7523H1931 must surely be put to deathH4191.

19The avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 is to put the murdererH7523 to deathH4191; when he findsH6293 him, heH1931 is to kill himH4191.

20Likewise, ifH518 anyone maliciouslyH8135 pushes anotherH1920 orH176 intentionallyH6660 throws an objectH7993 at himH5921 and kills himH4191, 21orH176 if in hostilityH342 he strikes himH5221 with his handH3027 and he diesH4191, the one who struck himH5221 must surely be put to deathH4191; heH1931 is a murdererH7523. When the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 findsH6293 the murdererH7523, he is to killH4191 himH853.
