"or animosity, he will have done any of these things, "
— Numbers 35:23, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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:”
“or with any stone, whereby a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm; ”
“or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm;”
“or 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,”
“And enmity, he do any of these things,”
“Or has given him a blow with a stone, without seeing him, so causing his death, though he had nothing against him and no desire to do him evil:”
“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:”
If, out of hatred, anyone assaults a man, or throws anything at him with ill intent,
or, while being his enemy, strikes him with his hand, and so he has died, the attacker shall be guilty of murder. The kinsman of the deceased, as soon as he finds him, shall cut his throat.
But if by chance, and without hatred
or animosity, he will have done any of these things,
and this has been proven in the hearing of the people, and the questions have been aired, between the one who struck and the close relative,
then the innocent one shall be freed from the hand of the revenger, and he shall be returned by this judgment into the city to which he had fled, and he shall stay there until the high priest, who has been anointed with the holy oil, dies.
If the one who has killed has been found beyond the limits of the cities which have been assigned to the exiled,
