Deuteronomy 19:4-7

4And this is the caseH1697 of the slayerH7523, who shall fleeH5127 there, that he may liveH2425: Whoever killethH5221 his neighbourH7453 unintentionallyH1097H1847, whom he hatedH8130 not in timeH8543 pastH8032;1

5As when a man goethH935 into the forestH3293 with his neighbourH7453 to hewH2404 woodH6086, and his handH3027 maketh a strokeH5080 with the axeH1631 to cut downH3772 the treeH6086, and the headH1270 slippethH5394 from the helveH6086, and fallethH4672 upon his neighbourH7453, that he diethH4191; he shall fleeH5127 to oneH259 of these citiesH5892, and liveH2425:234

6Lest the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 shall pursueH7291 the slayerH310H7523, whileH3588 his heartH3824 is hotH3179, and overtakeH5381 him, because the wayH1870 is longH7235, and slayH5221 himH5315; though he was not worthyH4941 of deathH4194, inasmuch asH3588 he hatedH8130 him not in timeH8543 pastH8032.56

7Therefore I commandH6680 thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt set apartH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thee.
