that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
035:016 But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died,
he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
035:017 If he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die,
and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely
be put to death.
035:018 Or if he struck him with a weapon of wood in the hand,
by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer:
the murderer shall surely be put to death.
035:019 The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death:
when he meets him, he shall put him to death.
035:020 If he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait,
so that he died,
035:021 or in enmity struck him with his hand, so that he died;
he who struck him shall surely be put to death; he is a murderer:
the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death,
when he meets him.
035:022 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled on him
anything without lying in wait,
035:023 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;
035:024 then the congregation shall judge between the striker and
the avenger of blood according to these ordinances;
035:025 and the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of
the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall
restore him to his city of refuge, where he was fled:
and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest,
who was anointed with the holy oil.
035:026 But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border
of his city of refuge, where he flees,
035:027 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,
035:028 because he should have remained in his city of refuge
until the death of the high priest: but after the death
of the high priest the manslayer shall return into the land
of his possession.
035:029 These things shall be for a statute [and] ordinance to you
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
035:030 Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at
the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify
against any person that he die.
035:031 Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer
who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.
035:032 You shall take no ransom for him who is fled to his city
of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land,
until the death of the priest.
035:033 So you shall not pollute the land in which you are:
for blood, it pollutes the land; and no expiation can
