Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
19 The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death: when he meets him, he shall put him to death.
20 If he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died,
21 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.
22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait,
23 or with any stone, whereby 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;
24 then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances;
25 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.
