*
These six cities shall be for refuge for the people of Israel ,
and for the stranger and for the sojourner among them ,
that any one who kills any person without intent may flee there .
* "
But if he struck him down with an instrument of iron ,
so that he died ,
he is a murderer ;
the murderer shall be put to death .
*
And if he struck him down with a stone in the hand ,
by which a man may die ,
and he died ,
he is a murderer ;
the murderer shall be put to death .
*
Or if he struck him down with a weapon of wood in the hand ,
by which a man may die ,
and he died ,
he is a murderer ;
the murderer shall be put to death .
*
The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death ;
when he meets him ,
he shall put him to death .
*
And if he stabbed him from hatred ,
or hurled at him ,
lying in wait ,
so that he died ,
*
or in enmity struck him down with his hand ,
so that he died ,
then he who struck the blow shall be put to death ;
he is a murderer ;
the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death ,
when he meets him .
* "
But if he stabbed him suddenly without enmity ,
or hurled anything on him without lying in wait ,
*
or used a stone ,
by which a man may die ,
and without seeing him cast it upon him ,
so that he died ,
though he was not his enemy ,
and did not seek his harm ;
*
then the congregation shall judge between the manslayer and the avenger of blood ,
in accordance with these ordinances ;
