Numbers 35:16-21 ▼

16 But if he struck him down with an iron object, so that he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.

17 If he struck him down with a stone in the hand, by which he will die, and [as a result] he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.

18 Or if he struck him with a wooden object in the hand, by which he might die, and [as a result] he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.

19 The blood avenger himself shall put the murderer to death; he shall put him to death when he meets him.

20 If he pushed him of hatred, or threw something at him lying in wait and [as a result] he died,

21 or if he struck him down with his hand in enmity, and [as a result] he died, the one who struck him shall surely be put to death, he is a murderer; the blood avenger shall put the murderer to death when he meets him.
