or if he has struck him with his hand in enmity, and he dies, the striker shall certainly be made to die; he is a murderer. When the avenger of blood meets him he shall cause the murderer to die.
or with any stone without seeing, by which he dies, and has caused it to fall on him, and he dies, and he is not an enemy to him, nor seeking his evil;
even he who goes into the forest with his neighbor to cut wood, and strikes with his hand with the axe to cut down the tree, and the iron head slips from the wood and finds his neighbor so that he dies; he shall flee to one of these cities, and shall live;
And if the avenger of blood pursues him, then they shall not deliver the manslayer into his hand, for he has struck his neighbor without knowing, and did not hate him yesterday and the day before.
