04:035:009 And the lord spake unto Moses, saying,

04:035:010 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye
           be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

04:035:011 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for
           you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any
           person at unawares.

04:035:012 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger;
           that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the
           congregation in judgment.

04:035:013 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye
           have for refuge.

04:035:014 Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three
           cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be
           cities of refuge.

04:035:015 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of
           Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among
           them:  that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee
           thither.

04:035:016 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he
           die, he is a murderer:  the murderer shall surely be put to
           death.

04:035:017 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may
           die, and he die, he is a murderer:  the murderer shall surely
           be put to death.

04:035:018 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he
           may die, and he die, he is a murderer:  the murderer shall
           surely be put to death.

04:035:019 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer:  when he
           meeteth him, he shall slay him.

04:035:020 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of
           wait, that he die;

04:035:021 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die:  he that
           smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: 
           the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth
           him.

04:035:022 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast
           upon him any thing without laying of wait,

04:035:023 Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not,
           and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy,
           neither sought his harm: 

04:035:024 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the
           revenger of blood according to these judgments: 

04:035:025 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand
           of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore
           him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled:  and he
           shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was
           anointed with the holy oil.
