MKJV(i)
11 then you shall choose cities to be cities of refuge for you, so that the slayer who kills any person through error may flee there.
12 And they shall be to you cities for refuge from the avenger, so that the manslayer does not die until he stands before the congregation in judgment.
13 And of those cities which you shall give, you shall have six cities for refuge.
14 You shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and you shall give three cities in the land of Canaan to be cities of refuge.
15 These six cities shall be a refuge for the sons of Israel, and for the stranger, and for anyone who stays among them, so that everyone who kills any person through error may flee there.
16 And if he strikes him with an instrument of iron, so that he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.
17 And if he strikes him by throwing a stone, with which he may die, and if he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.
18 Or if he strikes him with a hand weapon of wood, with which he may die, and if he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.
19 The revenger of blood himself shall kill the murderer. When he meets him, he shall kill him.
20 And if he stabs him from hatred, or hurls at him by lying in wait, so that he dies,
21 or in hatred strikes him with his hand so that he dies, he who struck him shall surely he put to death. He is a murderer. The revenger of blood will kill the murderer when he meets him.
22 But if he thrusts him suddenly without hatred, or has thrown something on him without lying in wait,
23 or with any stone with which a man may die if he does not see, and throws it upon him so that he dies, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm,
24 then the congregation shall judge between the one who kills and the revenger of blood according to these judgments.
