15. These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that kills any person unintentionally may flee there.
16. But 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 with throwing a stone, by which he may die, and 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, by which he may die, and he dies, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
19. The avenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meets him, he shall slay him.
20. But if he pushes him from hatred, or hurls at him by lying in wait, that he dies;
21. Or in enmity strikes him with his hand, that he dies: he that struck him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meets him.
