13. Then, among those cities which are separated for relief to fugitives,
14. three shall be across the Jordan, and three in the land of Canaan,
15. as much for the sons of Israel as for newcomers and sojourners, so that anyone who has shed blood unwillingly may flee to these places.
16. If anyone will have struck someone with iron, and he who was struck will have died, then he shall be guilty of homicide, and he himself shall die.
17. If he will have thrown a stone, and he who has been struck lies dead, then he shall be punished similarly.
18. If he who has been struck with wood passes away, he shall be avenged by the blood of the one who struck him.
19. The close relative of the deceased shall put to death the murderer; as soon as he apprehends him, he shall put him to death.
