Numbers 35:11-24

Rotherham(i) 11 then shall ye find for you, convenient cities, cities of refuge, shall they be unto you,––and the manslayer, who hath slain a person, by mistake, shall flee thither. 12 So shall the cities serve you for places of refuge from the redeemer,––that the manslayer may not die, until he has stood before the assembly, for judgment. 13 And, as touching the cities which ye shall give, six cities of refuge, shall there be unto you. 14 Three of the cities, shall ye give, on this side the Jordan, and, three of the cities, shall ye give in the land of Canaan,––cities of refuge, shall they be. 15 For the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner, and for the settler in your midst, shall these six cities serve, as places of refuge,––that any one may flee thither who hath slain a person, by mistake. 16 If, then, with an instrument of iron, he smote him, and he died, a manslayer, he is,––a manslayer, shall surely die. 17 Or, if, with a stone thrown by hand, whereby one might die, he smote him, and he died, a manslayer, he is,––the manslayer, shall surely die. 18 Or, if, with hand–weapon of wood, wherewith one might die, he smote him, and he died, a manslayer, he is,––the manslayer, shall surely die. 19 The blood–redeemer, he, shall put to death the manslayer,––when he lighteth upon him, he, shall put him to death. 20 Or, if, with hate, he shall thrust at him, or hurl at him designedly, and he have died, 21 or, if, with enmity, he hath smitten him with his hand, and he is dead, then shall he that dealt the blow, be surely put to death, a manslayer, he is––the blood–redeemer, shall put to death the manslayer, when he lighteth upon him. 22 But, if, suddenly, without enmity, he shall thrust him, or hurl upon him any missile, without design; 23 Or with any stone whereby one might die, without seeing [him], and it fall upon him, and he dieth; he, not being at enmity with him, nor seeking to harm him, 24 then shall the assembly judge, between him that smote and the blood–redeemer,––according to these regulations;
