"and he has been struck by him who is avenging blood, he who killed him shall not be harmed. "
— Numbers 35:27, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:”
“and the avenger of blood find him without the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood slay the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood, ”
“and the avenger of blood find him outside of the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood,”
“and the avenger of blood finds him outside the borders of the town of refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the slayer, he will not be guilty of blood,”
“And be struck by him that is the avenger of blood: he shall not be guilty that killed him.”
“And the giver of punishment, meeting him outside the walls of the town, puts him to death, he will not be responsible for his blood:”
“And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:”
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,
and he has been struck by him who is avenging blood, he who killed him shall not be harmed.
For the fugitive ought to have resided in the city, until the death of the high priest. Then, after he is dead, the one who has killed shall be returned to his own land.
These things shall be a perpetual ordinance in all your habitations.
The punishment of a murderer shall be based upon testimony; but no one shall be condemned upon the testimony of only one person.
