15For the children of Israel and for the man from another country who is living among them, these six towns are to be safe places, where anyone causing the death of another through error may go in flight.
16But if a man gives another man a blow with an iron instrument, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.
17Or if he gives him a blow with a stone in his hand, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.
18Or if he gave him blows with a wood instrument in his hands, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.
19He whose right it is to give punishment for blood, may himself put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him.
20If in his hate he put a sword through him, or waiting secretly for him sent a spear or stone at him, causing his death;
21Or in hate gave him blows with his hand, causing death; he who gave the death-blow is to be put to death; he is a taker of life: he whose right it is to give punishment for blood may put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him.
