And if a man lie not in wait, but God delivers him into his hand; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
Then you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee there, who kills any person unintentionally.
But if he pushes him from hatred, or hurls at him by lying in wait, that he dies;
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.

As when a man goes into the wood with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand swings a stroke with the ax to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the handle, and strikes his neighbor, that he dies; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
That the slayer that kills any person accidentally and unintentionally may flee there: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
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 unintentionally, and hated him not beforehand.
