Or in enmity strikes him with his hand, that he dies: he that struck him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meets him.
Or with any stone, with which a man may die, not seeing him, and thrown it down upon him, that he dies, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
As when a man goes into the wood with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand makes a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the handle, and lights upon his neighbor, so that he dies; he shall flee to one of those cities, and live:
And if the avenger of blood pursues after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he struck his neighbor unknowingly, and did not hate beforehand.
