Numbers:35:19-30

*
The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer :
when he meeteth him ,
he shall slay him .
*
But if he thrust him of hatred ,
or hurl at him by laying of wait ,
that he die ;
*
Or in enmity smite him with his hand ,
that he die :
he that smote him shall surely be put to death ;
for he is a murderer :
the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer ,
when he meeteth him .
*
But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity ,
or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait ,
*
Or with any stone ,
wherewith a man may die ,
seeing him not ,
and cast it upon him ,
that he die ,
and was not his enemy ,
neither sought his harm :
*
Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments :
*
And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood ,
and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge ,
whither he was fled :
and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest ,
which was anointed with the holy oil .
*
But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge ,
whither he was fled ;
*
And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge ,
and the revenger of blood kill the slayer ;
he shall not be guilty of blood :
*
Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest :
but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession .
*
So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings .
*
Whoso killeth any person ,
the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses :
but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die .
