Numbers 35:16-28
16And if he shall smiteH5221 him with an instrumentH3627 of ironH1270, so that he shall dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191. 17And if he shall smiteH5221 him by throwingH3027 a stoneH68, by which he may dieH4191, and he shall dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.1 18Or if he shall smiteH5221 him with an handH3027 weaponH3627 of woodH6086, by which he may dieH4191, and he shall dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191. 19The avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 himself shall slayH4191 the murdererH7523: when he meetethH6293 him, heH1931 shall slayH4191 him. 20But if he shall thrustH1920 him of hatredH8135, or hurlH7993 at him by laying in waitH6660, that he dieH4191; 21Or in enmityH342 shall smiteH5221 him with his handH3027, that he dieH4191: he that smoteH5221 him shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191; for he is a murdererH7523: the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 shall slayH4191 the murdererH7523, when he meetethH6293 him. 22But if he shall thrustH1920 him suddenlyH6621 withoutH3808 enmityH342, or shall have castH7993 upon him any thingH3627 without laying in waitH6660, 23Or with any stoneH68, by which a man may dieH4191, seeingH7200 him notH3808, and shall castH5307 it upon him, that he dieH4191, and was not his enemyH341, neither soughtH1245 his harmH7451: 24Then the congregationH5712 shall judgeH8199 between the slayerH5221 and the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 according to these judgmentsH4941: 25And the congregationH5712 shall deliverH5337 the slayerH7523 out of the handH3027 of the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818, and the congregationH5712 shall restoreH7725 him to the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, where he had fledH5127: and he shall abideH3427 in it to the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548, who was anointedH4886 with the holyH6944 oilH8081. 26But if the slayerH7523 shall at any timeH3318 comeH3318 outside the borderH1366 of the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, where he had fledH5127; 27And the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 findH4672 him outsideH2351 the bordersH1366 of the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, and the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 shall killH7523 the slayerH7523; he shall not be guilty of bloodH1818:2 28Because he should have remainedH3427 in the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733 until the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548: but afterH310 the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548 the slayerH7523 shall returnH7725 into the landH776 of his possessionH272.
