    21 or if in hostility someone strikes another with their hand and the person dies, the one who struck them must be put to death. They are a murderer. The avenger of blood is to execute the sentence when they meet the murderer.

    22 But if suddenly, without hostility, someone pushes another or throws something at them unintentionally,

    23 or if, without seeing them, they drop a stone on someone that could cause death, and the person dies, but there was no enmity or intentional harm between them,

    24 then the assembly must judge between the one who caused the death and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.

    25 The assembly shall protect the one who caused the death from the avenger of blood and send them back to the city of refuge they fled to. They must remain there until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.

    26 But if the one who caused the death goes outside the boundaries of the city of refuge to which they fled,

    27 and the avenger of blood finds the offender outside the city and kills them, the avenger shall not be guilty of bloodshed.

    28 The one who caused the death must remain in the city of refuge until the high priest dies; only after the death of the high priest may they return to their own property.
