Numbers 35 — Context

19

The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.

20

But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;

21

Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.

22

But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,

23

Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:

24

Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:

25

And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
