CLV(i)
15 For the sons of Israel, for the sojourner and for the guest in their midst, these six cities shall be for an asylum to flee there for everyone smiting a soul to death inadvertently.
16 Yet if he smites him with an iron instrument and he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer shall be put to death, yea death.
17 And if he smites him with a stone in his hand by which one may die, and he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer shall be put to death, yea death.
18 Or if he smites him with a wooden instrument in his hand by which one may die, and he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer shall be put to death, yea death.
19 The redeemer of blood, he shall put the murderer to death; when he comes upon him he shall put him to death.
20 And if he thrusts him in hatred or flings anything at him with malicious intent and he dies,
21 or he smites him in enmity with his hand and he dies, the smiter shall be put to death, yea death; he is a murderer. The redeemer of blood shall put the murderer to death when he comes upon him.
22 Yet if in an instant, with no enmity, he thrusts him or flings any article at him with no malicious intent,
23 or, when not seeing him, he causes any stone by which one may die to fall on him and he dies, yet he was not his enemy and was not seeking his evil,
24 then the congregation will judge between the smiter and the redeemer of blood by these judgments;
25 and the congregation will rescue the manslayer from the hand of the redeemer of blood, and the congregation will restore him to his city of asylum where he had fled. He will dwell in it until the death of the great priest, whom one anointed with the holy oil.
26 Yet if the manslayer goes forth, yea forth beyond the boundary of his city of asylum where he had fle.
27 and the redeemer of blood finds him outside the boundary of his city of asylum, and the redeemer of blood murders the manslayer, there is no bloodguilt on him,
28 for he should dwell in his city of asylum until the death of the great priest. Yet after the death of the great priest the manslayer may return to the land of his holding.
