16‘12But ifH518 he struckH5221 him downH5221 with an ironH1270 objectH3627, so that he diedH4191, he is a murdererH7523; the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191. 17IfH518 he struckH5221 him downH5221 with a stoneH68 in the handH3027, by whichH834 he will dieH4191, and as a result he diedH4191, he is a murdererH7523; the murdererH7523 13shall surelyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191. 18OrH176 if he struckH5221 him with a woodenH6086 objectH3627 in the handH3027, by whichH834 he might dieH4191, and as a result he diedH4191, he is a murdererH7523; the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191. 19The bloodH1818 avengerH1350 himselfH1931 shall putH4191 the murdererH7523 to deathH4191; he shall putH4191 him to deathH4191 when he meetsH6293 him. 2014IfH518 he pushedH1920 him of hatredH8135, orH176 threwH7993 something at him 15lyingH6660 in waitH6660 and as a result he diedH4191, 21orH176 if he struckH5221 him downH5221 with his handH3027 in enmityH342, and as a result he diedH4191, the one who struckH5221 him shall surelyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191, he is a murdererH7523; the bloodH1818 avengerH1350 shall putH4191 the murdererH7523 to deathH4191 when he meetsH6293 him.
