12. He that strikes down an ish, so that the ish die, shall be surely put to death.

13. And if he lie not in ambush, but HaElohim deliver him into his yad, then I will appoint thee a makom (i.e., city of refuge) where he shall flee there.

14. But if an ish come premeditatedly upon his re'a, to murder him by guile; thou shalt take him from Mine Mizbe'ach for capital punishment.

15. And he that striketh down his av, or his em, shall be surely put to death.
