19The reuenger of blood him selfe shal slay the murtherer: when he meeteth hym, he shall slay hym.
20But if he thrust hym of hate, or hurle at hym by laying of wayte, that he dye,
21Or smyte hym with his hande of enmitie that he dye: he that smote hym shall dye the death, for he is a murtherer: the reuenger of the blood shall slay the murtherer when he meeteth hym.
22But if he pusshed hym vnaduisedly, and not of hate, or cast vpon hym any thing, and not in laying of wayte,
23Or any maner of stone that a man may dye with, and saw him not, and he caused it to fall vpon hym, and he dye, and was not his enemie, neither sought hym any harme:
24Then the congregation shal iudge betweene the slayer and the reuenger of blood, according to these lawes.
25And the congregation shall deliuer the slayer out of the hande of the reuenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore hym to the citie of his refuge, whyther he was fled: and he shal abide there vnto the death of the hye priest, whiche was annoynted with the holy oyle.
26But if the slayer come without the borders of his citie of refuge, whyther he was fled:
27And the reuenger of blood finde hym without the borders of the citie of his refuge, and the reuenger of blood kyll the slayer, he shalbe gyltlesse:
28Because he shoulde haue bydden in the towne of his refuge vntill the death of the hye priest; and after the death of the hye priest, the slayer should returne vnto the lande of his possession.
29So these thynges shalbe a lawe of iudgement vnto you, throughout your generations, in al your dwellinges.
