Bible. Numbers
04:035:016 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he
die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to
death.
04:035:017 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may
die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely
be put to death.
04:035:018 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he
may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall
surely be put to death.
04:035:019 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he
meeteth him, he shall slay him.
04:035:020 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of
wait, that he die;
04:035:021 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.
04:035:022 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast
upon him any thing without laying of wait,
04:035:023 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:
04:035:024 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the
revenger of blood according to these judgments:
04:035:025 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.
04:035:026 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of
the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
04:035:027 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:
04:035:028 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge
until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the
high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his
possession.
04:035:029 So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
04:035:030 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death
by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify
against any person to cause him to die.
04:035:031 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a
murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put
to death.
04:035:032 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the
city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the
land, until the death of the priest.
