20. But if he stabbed him through hatred or hurled at him by lying in wait so that he died
21. Or in enmity struck him down with his hand so that he died, he that smote him shall surely be put to death; he is a murderer. The avenger of blood shall slay the murderer when he meets him.
22. But if he stabbed him suddenly without enmity or threw anything at or upon him without lying in wait
23. Or with any stone with which a man may be killed, not seeing him, and threw it at him so that he died, and was not his enemy nor sought to harm him,
24. Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.
25. And the congregation shall rescue the manslayer from the hand of the avenger of blood and restore him to his city of refuge to which he had fled; and he shall live in it until the high priest dies, who was anointed with the sacred oil.
26. But if the slayer shall at any time come outside the limits of his city of refuge to which he had fled
27. And the avenger of blood finds him outside the limits of his city of refuge and kills the manslayer, he shall not be guilty of blood
28. Because the manslayer should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the high priest's death the manslayer shall return to the land of his possession.
29. And these things shall be for a statute and ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
30. Whoever kills any person [intentionally], the murderer shall be put to death on the testimony of witnesses; but no one shall be put to death on the testimony of one witness.
31. Moreover, you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.
32. And you shall accept no ransom for him who has fled to his city of refuge, so that he may return to dwell in the land before the death of the high priest.
