Numbers 35:22-25

22‘1But if he pushed him suddenly, without hostility, or threw any object at him without 2malicious intent,

23or had any 3deadly stone, and without looking he dropped it on him so that he died, while he was not his enemy nor was he seeking 4to harm him,

24then 5the congregation shall judge between the one who fatally struck the victim and the blood avenger in accordance with these ordinances.

25And the congregation shall save the one who committed manslaughter from the hand of the blood avenger, and the congregation shall return him to his city of refuge to which he fled; and he shall live in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.
