Numbers 35:22-25

22“But if he strikes him suddenly, without enmity, or throws anything at him unintentionally,

23or with any stone large enough that a man could die, without seeing him, and throws it at him, and he dies, even though he was not his enemy nor sought his harm,

24then the community must judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood according to these decisions.

25The community must deliver the slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the community must restore him to the town of refuge to which he fled, and he must live there until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the consecrated oil.
