Numbers 35:16-28

16And if he have smitten him with an instrument of ironH1270, so that he dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall certainlyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191.

17And if he have smitten him with a stoneH68 from the handH3027, wherewith one may dieH4191, and he dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall certainlyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191.

18Or if he have smitten him with an instrument of woodH6086, in the handH3027, wherewith one may dieH4191, and he dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall certainlyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191;

19the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818, he shall putH4191 the murdererH7523 to deathH4191; when he meeteth him, he shall putH4191 him to deathH4191.

20And if he thrust at him out of hatredH8135, or hurl at him intentionally, so that he dieH4191,

21or from enmityH342 smite him with his handH3027, so that he dieH4191, he that smote him shall certainlyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191; he is a murdererH7523: the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 shall putH4191 the murdererH7523 to deathH4191, when he meeteth him. —

22But if he have thrust at him suddenlyH6621 without enmityH342, or have castH7993 upon him anything unintentionally,

23or [have smitten him] with any stoneH68 wherewith one may dieH4191, without seeingH7200 him, and have castH5307 it upon him so that he dieH4191, and he was not his enemyH341, neither soughtH1245 his harmH7451:

24then the assemblyH5712 shall judgeH8199 between the smiter and the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 according to these judgmentsH4941;

25and the assemblyH5712 shall rescueH5337 the manslayer out of the handH3027 of the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818, and the assemblyH5712 shall restoreH7725 him to the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, whither he had fledH5127; and he shall abide in it until the deathH4194 of the high-priest, who was anointedH4886 with the holyH6944 oilH8081.

26But if the manslayer shall in any way comeH3318 outside the limits of the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733 whither he hath fledH5127,

27and the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 findH4672 him outside the limits of his cityH5892 of refugeH4733, and the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 kill the manslayer, there shall be no blood-guiltiness upon him;

28for the manslayer should have remainedH3427 in the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733 until the deathH4194 of the high-priest; but after the deathH4194 of the high-priest he may returnH7725 into the landH776 of his possessionH272.
