*
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 ;
*
and the congregation shall rescue the manslayer from the hand of the avenger of blood ,
and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge ,
to which he had fled ,
and he shall live in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil .
*
But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the bounds of his city of refuge to which he fled ,
*
and the avenger of blood finds him outside the bounds of his city of refuge ,
and the avenger of blood slays the manslayer ,
he shall not be guilty of blood .
