Leeser(i)
11 Then ye shall appoint unto yourselves proper cities, that they be cities of refuge for you; and thither shall flee the manslayer who killeth any person at unawares.
12 And these cities shall be unto you for a refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he have stood before the congregation for trial.
13 And the cities which ye shall give, shall be six cities of refuge unto you;

21 Or if in enmity he have smitten him with his hand, that he died, he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the avenger of the blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth with him.
22 But if he have pushed against him accidentally without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without lying in wait,
23 Or with any stone wherewith a man may die, without seeing him, and he have let it fall upon him that he died; whereas he was not his enemy, and did not seek his harm:
